What happens when you film your family’s mundane routines for eight years? Cinematographer Ashley Connor and director Joe Stankus found out.

Their debut feature “It Goes That Quick” started as a playful experiment. Connor and Stankus cast their own family members in short films, capturing grocery runs, work commutes, tree plantings. The kind of stuff that makes up a life but rarely makes it into movies.

Then they kept filming. For eight years.

The 70-minute hybrid doc premieres April 25 at MoMI’s First Look Festival, with both filmmakers in attendance. Set across highways and suburbs of the Northeast, the film follows two families as fiction and reality start to blur together.

Connor’s no stranger to intimate work. The DP earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for “Madeline’s Madeline” and recently shot HBO’s “The Chair Company” and “Remarkably Bright Creatures” with Sally Field. But pointing the camera at her own family is a different beast entirely.

For Stankus, it’s his first feature after years of acclaimed shorts that played New York Film Festival and Rotterdam.

The result sounds less like a traditional doc and more like a meditation on why we document anything at all. Those trivial moments, it turns out, are the ones that stick.
