A More Perfect Union

A More Perfect Union will be among the first features produced entirely within social distancing guidelines and will capture two weeks in the Covid-19 pandemic Americans will never forget.  During these historic days, our rights are under attack. Mass surveillance efforts have increased dramatically since the beginning of quarantine, going far beyond what Edward Snowden revealed seven years ago.  Health insurance companies are seeing record profits while everyday Americans are on the verge of losing their homes, swamped by insane medical bills while countries with universal healthcare are close the end of their battles' with Covid-19. A More Perfect Union depicts a family being torn apart by Covid, differing priorities, and an untold secret. The film will be a microcosm of American life during the pandemic, with relatable scenes depicting the stress of parenting alone while a partner is sick and the way global trauma combined with near-constant isolation tears at the fabric of mental health and relationships. Perhaps the most important aspect of the film will highlight ways in which the government’s response to Covid crucially shapes our future, and how our fundamental rights as Americans are being infringed upon during this crisis, as too many of us face difficult choices between staying safe and supporting our families. A portion of the film’s proceeds will go to Covid relief efforts across the country.

The film will highlight familiar stories from this time across many walks of life.  

The Bergs' storyline will also explore modern love through the lens of polyamory, non-binary gender identity, pansexuality and more.
