All Day Long's Blurbs |
About me:
Flush with first love, two teenagers cut school to spend the day together in the outskirts of their suburban New Jersey community. But what begins as an experiment in earnest rule-breaking and youthful romance deteriorates into an exercise in disillusionment. Atmospheric and closely observed, All Day Long is a bittersweet portrait of the frustrations of adolescence and the persistent unwillingness of reality to meet expectations.
All Day Long is a 19-minute narrative film directed by Andrew Semans and written/produced by Semans and Drew DeNicola. It stars Eilis Cahill as "Alison" and Henry Glovinsky as "Daniel".

“A universal story... directed with wit and sensitivity.”
— Michael Sragow, The Baltimore Sun
“All Day Long is great… funny and crushing… it has a surprising sadness that stayed with me… the actors are terrific.”
— Noah Baumbach, director of The Squid and the Whale
“A singularly believable (sometimes painfully so) depiction of a phase of life easily forgotten after it's over. The actors are remarkable.”
— Geoffrey O'Brien, editor in chief of the Library of America and the author of The Phantom Empire: Movies in the Mind of the Twentieth Century
“Touching... indefinably haunting... The viewer is made to feel the gradual chilling of the atmosphere by subtle and indirect means... a very assured piece of work from a very talented filmmaker.”
— Peter Matthews, Sight and Sound
“Engaging... [All Day Long] highlights the true awkwardness that comprises most teenage love.”
— Baltimore City Paper
"Sensitive... intelligent... The rare type of short film that feels like it would have made a good feature-length production... I found the characters so engaging, the visual style so crisp and clear that I would have followed the action into the next day."
— Mike Everleth, Badlit.com
“Great pace and feel... tremendous performances.”
— Jay Duplass, director of The Puffy Chair
“Graceful yet bittersweet, reflective although not indulgent, and realist while avoiding the judgmental... heartbreaking.”
— Noralil Ryan Fores, Short End Magazine
“[All Day Long] encapsulates the awkwardness of adolescence and reminds us of the dividing line between youth and maturity… cinematographer Mark Schwartzbard captures a quiet desolation percolating within New Jersey’s bucolic back streets, woods and deserted shopping centers, a perfect backdrop for [the actors’] wholly natural performances... it’s an accomplished merger of tight, controlled technique with dialogue and situations brimming with truth and poignancy.”
—Ray Young, Flickhead
“Simple, poetic, and gut-wrenchingly bleak. I love it.”
— Leah Meyerhoff, director of Twitch
“Poignant and observant short film, All Day Long offers a glimpse of teenage romance rarely seen on-screen in most films or TV series made for teens... beautifully paced... the naturalistic settings quietly underscore the emotional transformations of the film’s central characters... The actors’ performances are remarkably subtle in their depiction of a familiar, but often forgotten, story from teenage life.”
– Chuck Tryon, The Chutry Experiment
“Three and a half stars... the tone is authentic... lively and universal, colored by that tricky adolescent dance – the seemingly inter-species communication between boys and girls.”
— Jenn Sutkowski, Mercury Magazine
“Really, really, really good.”
— Michael Tully, director of Cocaine Angel and Silver Jew
