So I had to make a new account after losing my access info for my old one.
This is the trailer for a short comedy film I wrote and directed.

It's an 8 minute comedy that follows the Grim Reaper as he tries to write out the last moments of a man's life, but can't make up his mind on how he wants the man to die. He keeps rewriting the man's death over and over, and each time the man comes back, and is forced to die an even more ridiculous way.
Shot over three days in Chicago, two locations, one set, one practical. It was shot on Super 16, but due to a major screw up by the first AC, we're finishing on Beta.
I can't post the whole film due to the festival run, but I'll post it once we're done with our majors. We're aiming at the Cannes film festival in France as our world premiere, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that we get in!
UPDATE: We made it into Cannes' Short Film Corner! While not as prestigious as the main competition, it's still really cool.
I know it's hard to tell much other than the story and tone from the trailer, but I'd love to hear your guys' feedback!
