Short Film Award

A mortician's son balances the expectations of working at his father's funeral home and a night out with friends. When grief intrudes on his closest relationships, he must face the full circle of life, forcing him to see the world as it truly is.


Re-imagining a reality free from injustice and oppression, writer/director/producer Carlton Daniel Jr seeks to challenge misconceptions of contemporary Black life through his critical lens as a Black, queer filmmaker.
