We are celebrating SXSW 2025 with a feature length film and a narrative short that both deal with topics of death in a very different (and often hilarious) way.

Dead Lover is a horror comedy that tells the story of a lonely gravedigger who stinks of dead people so badly, that she is willing to do anything in her power to have (and keep) a lover. We were joined by director/co-writer/actor Grace Glowicki and co-writer Ben Petrie, who describe their "downhill skiing" collaborative writing process, the story behind Grace's unique cockney accent, and as a married couple, where they keep the infamous shovel from the film. 

Out For Delivery is a short film about Joanna, who is suffering from a terminal illness and opts for assisted death, but her pursuit of a peaceful end-of-life experience is disrupted by unexpected complications. We were joined by director/writer (and return guest!) Chelsea Christer, and star of the film, Deanna Rooney, who explain the unifying connection of comedy, the downside of convenience culture, and their beautiful dynamic as working friends.
