ALL I'VE GOT & THEN SOME (WEBSITE)

An 80 minute comedic drama based on true events. 

Directed by: RASHEED STEPHENS and TEHBEN DEAN
Cinematography/Editing by: TEHBEN DEAN

All I've Got & Then Some follows a day in the life of Rasheed, a homeless stand-up comedian moonlighting as a rideshare
driver in Los Angeles while navigating falling in love and giving everything he’s got to make his dreams come true.


"All I’ve Got & Then Some is an audacious debut feature that follows a day in the life of lovable Rasheed, an unhoused stand-up comedian who lives in his car, bonds with a girl who lives two cars down, and moonlights as a rideshare driver in Los Angeles. Moving from Atlanta on “the adrenaline of dreams,” aspiring stand-up comedian Rasheed has a heart of gold. He showers at the gym, gets free haircuts, and sneaks “continental breakfasts” at a hotel; however, Rasheed never lets himself, or us, down, saying that every day is “the best day of his life.” Production of this terrific, character-driven film—“based on true events”—was also about chasing a dream with the odds stacked against them. Written and cast in two weeks, shot in one week, and posted two weeks later, All I’ve Got & Then Some showcases the artist’s struggle in its rawest form, and inspires us to achieve our own dreams, if we only have the guts to do it."

"A drama at its core, All I’ve Got and Then Some also shines with gems of humor in the most unexpected situations. It’s got so much heart, and with rarely a moment where you’re not rooting for Rasheed, you find yourself almost jealous that you didn’t have the courage to make the sacrifices he did."

"A fantastic representation of an artist’s fight against daunting odds. It resonates with anyone who has dared to dream big, reminding us that one can navigate even the most challenging obstacles with perseverance and ingenuity. The film is not just entertaining; it acts as a source of motivation, highlighting the decisive role of storytelling in capturing the human condition’s depth."

"Tehben Dean’s cinematography really stands out as every character is shown beautifully, with soft and complimentary lighting and vivid colors that seem to compliment Stephens’ optimism and drive in the face of challenging circumstances"
