The trailer for All of My Dreams is finally here.
This film has been a labor of love—built on trust, vulnerability, and the kind of magic that only happens when people come together with a shared purpose. Every frame carries a piece of the incredible cast and crew who poured their hearts into this story.
We’re so excited (and honestly a little emotional) to share this first look with you.
As we begin our festival journey, your support means everything—watch it, share it, tell a friend, and help us bring this story as far as it can go. 🎬
To everyone who believed in this project from day one… thank you. This is just the beginning. #FilmTrailer #IndieFilm #FilmFestival #FestivalCircuit #AndreaNavedo
Wow…..
You don’t really understand what it means to be loved by a poet until the poet is gone and you are left with the words, and the love doesn’t feel gone at all.
Sometimes I am baffled by what Andrea was able to do with language. As I listen to this, there are lines that feel like they were written not just for the woman I was when Andrea wrote them, but for the woman sitting alone in a too-big bed, pressing play again and again now.
Glennon calls Andrea “The Poet Laureate of Heaven.” It’s so true. How they’ve managed to speak to me, to speak to us all, from that unknowable other side. How they seem to thin the veil. Or try to prove there is no veil at all.
This video is one of three additional scenes Ryan sent me last week.
People will wonder why it didn’t make it into the film. It wasn’t cut because it didn’t matter. It was cut because everything mattered. Our brilliant editor, Berenice Chavez, would beg Ryan to stop returning to Colorado. He’d fly in for b-roll and come back with whole breathing chapters.
There isn’t enough space in a feature film to hold every hour of a love like ours. Though heaven knows I’d watch all of it now.
If the film is the novel, this scene is the poem. Distilled. A direct route to the heart of it all.
Andrea says, “Anyone who has ever said poetry is frivolous has never needed someone to tell them something unspeakably hard, beautifully.”
That’s what our documentary is. Something unspeakably hard, told beautifully.
If you haven’t watched “Come See Me in the Good Light” yet, I hope you will. Let it rearrange you.
I’m so grateful for these six extra minutes with Andrea. And grateful to share them with you now.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we honor one of our Afro Latino leaders Roberto Clemente. As a Puerto Rican who represented all Latinos around the world with great respect, pride and dignity.

Love this!
Leave it to Shakespeare and @ianmckellen to so eloquently speak of man’s mountainish inhumanity.
See Ian McKellen in AN ARK, a new play for mixed reality, at @theshedny now!

Truly thankful for this experience. 🤍
A heartfelt thank you to Actor, Author, and Producer Andrea Navedo | @andreanavedo for placing her trust in Zalo Photography to capture her actor headshots and lifestyle portraits.
It was an honor to photograph Andrea in the comfort of her home while highlighting and celebrating her inspiring new book, Our Otherness Is Our Strength: Wisdom from the Boogie Down Bronx.
Being able to document her authenticity, warmth, and Bronx-rooted power through these images was incredibly meaningful.
Andrea’s presence, purpose, and passion shine through everything she does, and it was a privilege to help tell this chapter of her story.
Her book is available now through your favorite online retailer — highly recommended. 📚✨
