IN/SIGNIFICANT OTHERS
A follow-up to the festival hit Among Brothers, John Schwert’s second feature In/Significant Others is a multi-narrative drama that navigates through the different lives of one city’s residents, each of whom is connected to the same local homicide investigation.
This ensemble cast of characters includes an Iraq War vet returned home to an emotionally disturbed wife, a new father living in the shadow of a successful brother, a sister caught up in a web of addiction, and a cameraman who attempts to exploit the reality behind all of their stories, or at least his version of them.
The search for truth becomes a life and death struggle as the subtle manipulation of all relationships is exposed.

John Schwert’s Feature Film In/Significant Others set for re-release through Indie Rights
(Charlotte, NC) Filmmaker John Schwert, who drew attention with his acclaimed first feature Among Brothers, secured a worldwide release with his second feature film In/Significant Others set for re-release in 2024.
“Indie Rights is committed to releasing the type and quality of pictures that represent the true independent film community,” explains Schwert. “So I’m really honored that we were able to work with them to get In/Significant Others out to the world through their array of home video and digital partners.”
In/Significant Others premiered at the Boston Film Festival, where it won the top festival honors, and went on to screen at an additional 15 film festivals, winning the top awards at the Charlotte and Mammoth Film Festivals, as well as the Houston Worldfest.
After pursuing a successful career in corporate marketing, Schwert produced, directed and financed his first feature Among Brothers with a second mortgage on his home. The film was based on the actual events surrounding the unsolved murder of a college student in 1994. Among Brothers went on to screen at 17 international film festivals and drew attention with a two-hour Dateline NBC special, subsequently pushing South Carolina Law Enforcement to re-open the unsolved case.
Schwert’s new film, In/Significant Others, is a multi-narrative fictional drama that navigates through the different lives of one city’s residents, each of whom is connected to the same murder investigation. The characters include an Iraq War vet returned home to an emotionally disturbed wife, a new father living in the shadow of a successful brother, a sister caught up in a web of addiction, and a cameraman who attempts to exploit the reality behind all of their stories. The cast and crew are entirely Carolina based.
“North Carolina is fertile ground for the film industry, especially now with the tax incentive,” says Schwert. “It is much easier to get films made and to get things done here and there is no shortage of good cast and crew talent here either.”
