In Totality, a documentary by Jesse Rudoy
Premiere: Rooftop Film Festival, New York City, July 25, 2025
In Totality is a dramatic short film directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Jesse Rudoy (Dusty & Stones). The documentary follows Debra Ross, the real-life leader of Rochester, New York’s 2024 eclipse task force, in the tense final days leading up to the celestial event. As the countdown to totality ticks down, so does the weather forecast—and the emotional stakes for a community that has invested deeply in its once-in-a-lifetime moment.
