Alanna Ubach (Clockwatchers, Denise Calls Up) gets her first starring role in All Of It, director Jody Podolsky’s drama about coming to terms with family left behind. Ubach plays Amy, a 25-year-old junior editor in New York whose holiday return to her suburban Midwest home sets the stage for a dramatic confrontation with her mother (Lesley Ann Warren).

Podolsky says that for her first feature she wanted to confront the everyday pathology particular to the mother-daughter bond.

Podolsky got her undergraduate degree in screenwriting from USC in 1992 and spent a year at CAA before moving on to the production company Alphaville at Universal Studios, where she was first Director and subseqently V.P. of Development. She had a hand in producing ’97 Sundance entry 35 Miles from Normal and enlisted the film’s cinematographer and close personal friend Ted Cohen to shoot All Of It.

Podolsky and producer Darren Gold used an LLC to finance All Of It’s six-figure 35mm shoot "nickle by nickle." The film’s 24-day Detroit-area shoot was scheduled to capture the changing of the leaves and began October 12. After locking picture in New York in mid-February with editor Jacob Craycroft, the filmmakers headed home to L.A. to complete post and now expect a finished film in late April; all rights are available.
