Synopsis: Told from the point of view of the filmmaker/grandson (then in his early twenties), who’d had a brush with death himself, this moving film opens up a quiet storm of issues concerning how we all live and die, and how we face or choose to ignore the looming end-of-life choices that affect our aged loved ones–and ultimately, ourselves.

Pianist, vocalist, teacher, composer, actor, and filmmaker HANNAH REIMANN has a pedagogical lineage, via multiple generations, tracing back to Beethoven. She has played classical music and sang in folk and rock ensembles since she was a child. Over the course of her varied and multi-genre career, Reimann has played concert piano at Lincoln Center, fronted a punk band in Japan, appeared in over twenty independent films, performed with the Main Squeeze Accordion Orchestra, and directed the documentary, My Father’s House: A Journey of Love and Memory.

Reimann has devoted herself to interpreting the music of Joni Mitchell for much of the past decade. Performances of her show Both Sides Now, were hosted at The Bitter End, Littlefield, The Cutting Room and additional venues in Maine, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The show had a three-week run in 2019 at the Irondale Center, Brooklyn as part of the ON WOMEN theater festival.
