Joshua Seftel Releases Documentary All the Empty Rooms

Joshua Seftel's Oscar-shortlisted documentary All the Empty Rooms (streaming on Netflix) follows CBS correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp as they document the preserved bedrooms of children killed in U.S. school shootings, noting on-screen that annual shootings rose from 17 to 132 since 1997. The film, which won Best Documentary Short at the Cinema Eye Honors and prizes at SCAD Savannah, Santa Fe and Hamptons festivals, adopts a reverent, nonpolitical approach to foreground personal loss.
