Life After | Short Film

"Life After was written as a proof of concept for a feature film. The hope was to come up with a short story that was engaging, meaningful, and thought provoking.
From the beginning I wanted to inject life and death stakes into a conversation around the meaning of life. I loved the idea of Ash’s own grief being the bridge to reasoning with John, the hostage taker.
In my own life, I’ve seen empathy as the most powerful tool in resolving conflict and I wanted to explore that in the film.
We had a short window to make the film in January 2020 and the whole thing was written, prepped and shot within 4 weeks. Making this short was a massive challenge but one we were excited to take on."
