A film of joy and wonder, EVERY LITTLE THING offers profound truths in a deceptively simple story. What does it mean to care for another, and what impact does this act have on us? In tending to these fragile yet resilient hummingbirds, Terry Masear finds a sense of healing from her own past. Her diminutive patients — brought into sharp focus through breathtaking, beautifully detailed photography — become memorable protagonists in their own right. The viewer becomes emotionally invested each of them, celebrating their small victories and lamenting their tiny tragedies. The compassion and empathy that Masear shows her Lilliputian charges serves as a lesson to us all — a reminder that in the smallest of acts, and in the tiniest of creatures, we might find grace.

“Every Little Thing is not just a deeply affecting portrait — it offers a vision of compassion as a way of life. The way Aitken and her ace team have made a handful of these birds, into compelling screen characters is, well, no small thing. The Hollywood Reporter

“Delicate and immensely touching….Incredible, immersive hummingbird footage…An instantly engaging subject”  IndieWire

“The stars of the film are undoubtedly the birds, spectacularly captured with slow-motion macro photography to breathtaking effect” Screen International
