Everywhere the Light Touches

Spring, 1932. When industrial titan and lifelong friend George Eastman takes his own life, his secretary of over forty years is left to reckon with the legacy of their decades of collaboration. As the memorial service approaches, the fiercely private Alice begins writing a series of unsent letters to the man she thought she knew better than anyone.

Through old photographs, court transcripts, and meticulously archived correspondence, Alice pieces together the hidden life of the founder of Kodak, confronting the uneasy tension between public legacy and private pain. But as she revisits the quiet compromises and unspoken bonds of their unconventional friendship, she’s forced to ask: was their life’s work truly shared, or was she only ever a witness? Was it right, what they did; was it worth what it cost?

In a haunting exploration of loyalty, grief, and the blurred lines between devotion and erasure, Everywhere the Light Touches is a poignant reckoning with the stories we tell ourselves—and the truths we leave out of frame.
