Every Time We Chase

They say fame changes people.

But for Millie Schwartz, it was her family that changed everything.

Raised by her father, Ben Schwartz, Millie grew up in a world that never slowed down-full of film sets, late nights, inside jokes, and chaos that somehow always ended in laughter. It wasn't a perfect life. Not even close. But it was hers.

Ben was never the picture of an ideal parent. He overthought things, under-slept constantly, and used humor like a shield when life got too heavy. But one thing he never failed at was showing up. Even when something else felt uncertain, he stayed.

As Millie grows up and steps into her own spotlight-eventually becoming Eleven in Stranger Things-their already unpredictable world only gets louder. Fame brings opportunity, pressure, distance... and the quiet fear that growing up might mean growing apart.

But no matter how much changes, some things don't.

Late-night phone calls. Chaotic mornings before premieres. Quiet moments where neither of them needs to say much at all.

Because in the middle of everything messy, overwhelming, and uncertain, there's still one constant:

They choose each other. Every time.

A story about growing up too fast, trying your best, and finding home in the most unexpected person-your parent.
