Everything That Rises Must Converge is a hybrid documentary/fiction film. It follows four real-life adult film performers as they start their day at home, get in their cars and drive to work in a nondescript residential house in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. In between documentary scenes, we also encounter several fictional characters whose stories revolve around the same residential house where the performers work. Shown as a grid of four simultaneous images, the film weaves scenes of everyday life with moments of beauty, as well as the strange and absurd moments of apparent convergence.

Everything That Rises Must Converge

This film introduces David Kerry, a man who lost his memory after a beating, to the people and life he had prior to his amnesia. However, along the way he learns that the life he had might have been best kept hidden. The audience is pulled into his story and left wondering what would happen if shadows of their life were put on camera for all the world to see. This is a 'faux' documentary that follows a graduate student filmmaker as his thesis project proves to be far more than he ever imagined. He becomes a part of David's complicated world and pays the price for his ambition.
