CELLO

A short film about one man's battle with ALS, and the choices we all hope we never have to make.

Olivia knows there is something wrong with her grandpa. He has been slowing down and unable to play his cello. In fact, master cellist, Ansel Evans, has been diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). As his body shuts down, he makes the difficult decision to minimize the suffering for his closest loved ones by planning one last concert. But this decision won’t be an easy one to explain to Olivia.

A portion of the purchase and rental prices from this movie will support the Lynn Harrell Foundation. Their mission is to support emerging talent throughout the classical music field in the areas of education, research, performances, and individual artists.

Scene from Cello of Ansel and Olivia sitting by a window while he plays the cello.

“Beautifully written and directed by Angie Su, Cello is an inspiring, touching visual piece that will remain your heart long after the end credits. Kudos to this talented production team led by Helen Nightengale, and to the wonderful cast led by Lynn Harrell and the prodigy actress Samantha Desman.”
