It Goes That Quick

It Goes That Quick

2026 · 70 min · Documentary

The word “personal” doesn’t begin to describe the profound intimacy of this unconventional family portrait, constructed with delicacy and humor by married filmmakers Ashley Connor and Joe Stankus. Neither can that description reveal the artful and intelligent self-awareness of their approach: It Goes That Quick is neither confessional nor exposé but rather something singular and rich—a timeless mosaic of American life, filmed over the course of eight years within one extended Northeastern network of aunts and uncles, parents and grandparents, adults and newborns in which everyone plays a dramatic role that’s no less constructed for being real. By the end of this fleet, loving feature, you feel like a member of the family.
