The event is sponsored by Iris Indie International, Roosevelt Film Lab, and KINDR Foundation, headed by CEO Donna Dwiggins.
A Story of Redemption and Forgiveness
After All explores the unspoken bonds that hold families together even after loss and betrayal. Set against the backdrop of a small American town, the film follows a mother (Penelope Ann Miller) and daughter (Erika Christensen) forced to confront a tragic past when long-buried secrets resurface.
Through extraordinary performances and striking cinematography, the film examines the power of forgiveness – both given and withheld – as each character wrestles with guilt, reconciliation, and the possibility of healing.
Critics have lauded the film for its emotional honesty and visual poetry. ABC7-TV Los Angeles called it “a gut-wrenching story told through incredible photography and direction… there wasn't a trivial moment.” KTLA-TV wrote, “A throwback to when movies made you feel something… Christensen gives a performance so real, so raw, you'll want to reach up and give her a hug after you wipe away your tears.”
Director Kerstin Karlhuber received the New York Women in Film & Television Award for Excellence in Narrative Directing for her work on the film. Regarding the event, Karlhuber stated, “I am honored to participate in this special presentation on LVOD, an innovative and interactive distribution platform that is redefining the way audiences experience and engage with storytelling. I look forward to our cast and creative team connecting with audiences across the globe through this exciting new medium.”
After All opened theatrically in October 2025 on 40 screens nationwide and will be available on VOD beginning Friday, Nov. 7, on Apple TV, Amazon, YouTube, Fandango at Home and all major cable and satellite platforms.

The Nov. 6 event marks the second presentation on Iris Indie's new LVOD platform, which debuted last month with the award-winning documentary In the Same Boat. The LVOD format allows audiences worldwide to experience a film's premiere in real time, with direct participation from cast, filmmakers, and musicians – creating a hybrid of festival intimacy and digital accessibility.
