all the love i could handle is a reimagining of the filmmaker’s mother’s childhood memory—an exploration of motherhood, artistry, and the unseen sacrifices that shape a legacy. Inspired by her grandmother, Kathleen Collins (Losing Ground, 1982)—a pioneering Black filmmaker whose work went largely unrecognized in her lifetime—this film unfolds on the day she completed her seminal feature. But this isn’t just a story of triumph. It lingers in the quiet spaces between devotion and distance, presence and absence, as her two young children struggle to grasp a mother who is both deeply there and just out of reach.
Blending memory and imagination, all the love i could handle is an intimate meditation on the delicate bond between mother and child, artist and self.
