Alone But Never Alone
Meet the Characters of Alone But Never Alone
Alone But Never Alone is a supernatural love story about loss, memory, music, and the people we can’t let go of—even after they’ve gone. It follows Nina, a woman haunted by the death of her first love, and the circle of friends, lovers, and strangers—living and otherwise—who orbit her grief and guide her forward.
The script is finished. We’re in the pre-launch phase of a Kickstarter campaign to fund a proof-of-concept and sizzle reel, and we’re actively recruiting talent and collaborators. If you’re moved by this story—if you see yourself in it or want to help bring it into the world—get in touch.
The portraits below represent the core characters of the film. Each one is a window into the emotional landscape we’re exploring—tender, flawed, and all searching for something that might never come back
Heather Gerard
“She doesn’t know what she wants. Or maybe she does, and it scares her. I’ve been the placeholder. The warm bed. The voice of reason she sometimes listens to, and sometimes resents. But I never stopped caring. Maybe I’m foolish for still showing up. But that’s just who I am.”
Tommy Johnson
“People think I’m just here to host a show. I’m not. I’m a conduit. A relay between what’s seen and unseen. I don’t claim to understand it—but I respect it. Nina’s being pulled by something bigger than herself. I see that. And I see her. Whether she wants me to or not.”
Nina Atwood
“Everything in me is fractured. I keep making things, designing things, looking for some logic in the chaos—but it doesn’t come. It’s like I’m stuck in the moment she left, and all I have are echoes. Heather grounds me. Fred steadies me. Barry sees more than I say. But Lila… Lila still owns me.”
Lila Morgan
“I’m not really here. Not the way she wants. But I’m still with her. In the music. In the butterflies. In the quiet places between heartbeats. She doesn’t know if she should move on or hold on. Maybe she doesn’t have to choose.”
Barry Tanner
“You think we’re all just musicians? Maybe. But Nina’s got a frequency I’ve been picking up on for a long time. I knew Lila too. A while back, in Europe. Didn’t think it would come back around. But it did. And I think this time, I’m supposed to help.”
Fred Jones
“I’m not the center of her life. I don’t need to be. But I’ve seen this kind of grief before—when the past won’t let go and the music’s the only thing left that still makes sense. So I just keep playing. If she needs to tune into something steady, I’m here. Basslines don’t judge.”
