Allen Sunshine, winner of the Werner Herzog Film Award, out now on AppleTv and all rental platforms

Beyond excited to announce that my debut feature film “Allen Sunshine” will be world premiering at the 41st Munich International Film Festival. @filmfestmunich
Having made this film with my mother who’s been producing all my work since I was 14, it felt like an impossible idea to then create a work of art that we are so proud of and so excited to share.
I believe that choosing optimism is choosing happiness and that’s what I hoped to push with my film. In our current landscape, it seems that so much art made for and by young people is cynical and nihilistic and I hoped to bring a different kind of sensibility to my generation. Asking the viewer to slow down and be reminded of what truly makes us human.
So grateful to everyone that worked on the film and supported the journey ❤️

Recipient of the Werner Herzog Award, ALLEN SUNSHINE—the first feature by 25-year-old Harley Chamandy— is a pleasingly gentle character study set in scenic Lake Country, where music producer Allen has retreated to recover from a grievous turn of events.🛶

Winner of the Werner Herzog Film Award, Allen Sunshine tells the story of a music mogul who retreats to remote cabin to mourn his famous wife’s suicide. Amid the solitude of the Canadian wilderness he struggles with grief, until an unexpected encounter ends his isolation.
Programmer’s Note: There is something precious about Allen Sunshine. The film doesn’t strive for perfection, but in its calmness, it holds space for reflection—a meditation on grief. Beautifully shot, its visual language captures the lingering presence of loss, not through answers but through emptiness, exploring how we live in the wake of grief rather than how we overcome it.
Director Harley Chamandy wrote the film when he was just 19, and Allen Sunshine possesses an emotional depth and raw understanding of sorrow that resonates beyond expectation. That it was awarded the Werner Herzog Prize speaks volumes—not just to its impact but to the promise of Chamandy’s future work.
Nothing “happens” in Allen Sunshine in the traditional sense, yet everything is felt. The film lingers in moments of silence, in the spaces between dialogue, allowing the audience time to sit with their own thoughts and experiences of loss. In this way, Allen Sunshine is not just a film about grief—it is an invitation to confront it. —Brenda Moe @brendabean

Werner Herzog awarded my debut film “Allen Sunshine” last night.
So crazy. I am so honored to have done a Q and A with the man who made me want to make films.
If you have a dream, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve it. Be persistent. Be relentless.. but most importantly have faith.
