Pregnant and Dying
“You look so beautiful tonight. I love you so much.”
Teaser for Pregnant and Dying
Pregnant and Dying (12 min, 2013) is a 12 minute film about a young woman named Elma who finds herself both pregnant and dying. Visually inspired by Cindy Sherman’s Rear Screen Projection series, Pregnant and Dying is shot almost entirely using rear screen projection. I play all of the characters but one, my father plays the other.
