All Creatures Here Below

A young couple’s
impulsive crime
sets off a series of
events leading to
dire consequences
from LA to
Kansas City

The Midwest Independent Film Festival is proud to present thriller All Creatures Here Below, directed by Collin Schiffli, for September’s #FirstTuesdays screening event.

The film is the story of Gensan (David Dastmalchian) and Ruby (Karen Gillan), who live on the fringes of society in Los Angeles, struggling to survive in the face of abject poverty.

On a fateful night, they strike out to seize something that has always been denied them, which sets in motion a series of events with dire consequences. Their impulsively committed crime puts them on the run from the police. They seek refuge in their hometown of Kansas City, a place filled with the dark secrets that have haunted them since they fled years ago.
