We Gather Here Today

drama // comedy // 10 mins
three dysfunctional siblings just lost their dad and attend a very chaotic, frustrating, and somehow comedic funeral.

We Gather Here Today is an ambitious venture into drama, exploring themes of family ties, grief, and relief in tragedy.

i wanted the film to be real-time, presenting the emotions in as raw-a-state as possible.

i'm very proud of the film. it's touching, hopeful, and has comedic beats that audiences have enjoyed.

there's certain dramatic beats that i enjoyed crafting, but overall have learned that i prefer making audiences laugh over making them cry.
