Couple's Journey: From Pregnancy to Premiere

Scarlett Bermingham and Andrew Rhymer, a filmmaking couple, found their personal lives mirroring the struggles of the protagonist in their film, "All That She Wants." Bermingham related to the dancer character's crisis, while Rhymer noted Scarlett's pregnancies coincided with the film's production.

The directing duo faced a four-year effort to secure financing for the movie. Their journey included two pregnancies for Bermingham, with the director's cut finalized just before their son's birth. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2026, with stars Annie Murphy and Cooper Raiff present.

"All That She Wants" aims to present a more complex female lead in romantic comedies, moving beyond typical portrayals. Bermingham stated the film validates the desire for motherhood within the genre, a theme often overlooked. Murphy's emotional range was highlighted, while Raiff showcased a newfound maturity in his role.

This marked Bermingham and Rhymer's first feature as a directing team, a process they found collaborative and efficient. Despite the challenges of balancing work and family life, the couple plans further projects, including adaptations of "The Paper Bag Princess" and "Big Time Abroad."
