OUR WORK
Written, directed, and performed by real-life partners Alex and Charlie, This Magical Moment in Cosmic History is a genre-bending, time-hopping love story that unfolds across the multiverse. When Apollo and Celeste fall in love under a rare solar eclipse, their connection transcends lifetimes—but fate has other plans. In timeline after timeline, from sitcom kitchens to spy thrillers, fantasy kingdoms to technicolor moonlit musicals, Celeste dies at the moment of total lunar eclipse on her 30th birthday. Determined to save her, the lovers leap through universes to rewrite the story. But the more they try to control the outcome, the more the universe pushes back. With heartfelt performances, dazzling shifts in style and genre, and a deeply spiritual undercurrent, the film explores surrender, love, and the cosmic mystery of timing. Equal parts rom-com, musical, fantasy epic, and metaphysical meditation, this 21-minute short is both wildly imaginative and deeply human.
