Afterglow is a deeply personal documentary following John Holzscheiter as he rebuilds both a classic BMW E9 and his own sense of purpose after the devastating loss of his son, AJ. What began as a father-son passion project transforms into a tribute of love and resilience when AJ, battling recurring injuries and a fading sense of hope, takes his own life. In the wake of tragedy, John channels his grief into Afterglow - a foundation and annual benefit concert raising awareness for suicide prevention. This film is a testament to the healing power of creation, memory, and community.
