02: FUNERAL THEORY.

We've all been to funerals. Most of the time, they're the same; how great so-and-so was, how much they were loved, how much they'll be missed. They're an emotional event, honoring the memory of someone in all of their good moments. But, what if you didn't know them? What if you were, at that very moment, lost? Life had led you astray, and the moment you walked through those doors and saw loved ones crying, people overwhelmed with emotions, that you fixate on the elephant in the room: what's missing. The imperfections, the flaws, the demons that follow each and every one of us - in life, and after. Enter, FUNERAL THEORY.

This project was my first “crewed” production I ever made. It was a small cast (2), small crew (7), filmed one weekend in October inside my own apartment. And it was such a lovely introduction to the power of preparation, communication, and trust in others to help a vision come to light.
