What I Remember

In the rural town of Brookehaven, two strangers meet each other in a stroke of fate. Ryan documents everything with a camera, and Sam, a lonely troublemaker, welcomes Ryan into her life. In the present day, Ryan has gone missing, and Sam reminisces on their past as she goes through the old footage and searches for Ryan. It is a collection of intimate moments and glitchy, datamoshed memories, telling a tale about rural upbringing, queer community, and the recollection of the past.

Directed by Alex Hera, What I Remember leans on a strong ensemble — Belgica Rodriguez, Cabe Thompson, Melanie Salazar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2025.
