“They’re not superstars – they’re just performers who are married with kids and trying to do the best with both worlds.” Apple TV has revealed the first official trailer for a documentary film titled Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost, directed by actor / filmmaker Ben Stiller telling the story of his own family. This is an extension of his previous doc series also titled “Stiller & Meara”, taking a closer look at his parents – comedy icons Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. One of the most personal films about Ben Stiller and his family. The doc is premiering at the 2025 New York Film Festival and will then hit theaters and streaming on Apple TV+ in October this fall. NYFF explains: “After Anne & Jerry passed away in 2015 and 2020, respectively, Stiller dug into the vast treasure trove of recordings, footage, letters, and ephemera with which they documented their personal & professional lives. These extraordinary archives are a foundation of this immensely moving – and, of course, very funny – documentary. Stiller & Meara is above all a true multigenerational family project, made with the collaboration of Stiller’s sister, Amy Stiller; his wife, Christine Taylor Stiller; and children Ella and Quinlin Stiller.” This looks great! A must see for Stiller fans and doc lovers out there.
