Published on November 20, 2018

Arriving on the scene with the celebrated Locarno Film Fest title Rat Film (2016), a Cinema Eye Honors Awards and Gotham Awards nominated film, the Baltimore based Theo Anthony (an IONCINEPHILE featured filmmaker) received some recent support from Rooftop Films Fund, Cinereach and finally was named a Sundance Art of Non-Fiction Fellow and received support from Sundance Institute’s Science Sandbox Nonfiction Initiative. If ready, All Light, Everywhere will be a sought after docu item for film fest programmers and risk taking distribs alike.
