All the Empty Rooms

All the Empty Rooms (2025) is a documentary short you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Joshua Seftel. CBS journalist Steve Hartman and photographer Bryan Muehlberger spent years visiting families whose children were killed in school shootings — asking only for permission to photograph the bedrooms left exactly as they were.

Thirty-four minutes. No policy argument, no push toward a verdict. A backpack still hanging by the door. A homework sheet on the desk. The camera holds still and lets the absence carry the weight. A film that sits with you well past its running time. Stream All the Empty Rooms (2025) online on iFILM.
