Shooting on nearly every camera format imaginable, from hand-developed Super-8 film to Arri 4K, Sam Harkness and his older half-brother Reed use their creative world of fiction filmmaking to dive headfirst into dealing with the issue at hand: Sam’s mom is missing. Solving the mystery of Sam's mother's disappearance is only the beginning of their story. Sam Now is a mosaic of love, longing and loss, as well as an attempt to overcome intergenerational trauma.
