Logline: In this light-hearted dark comedy, a man discovers an unconventional family when he is invited to a support group for the legally dead, after attempting to dig up his own grave.

Director’s statement: The entire premise of this film is that no matter how crazy the situation is that you’re dealing with, there are other people who understand you and can help you make it through. We need each other. Now that we’re all going through the same wild worldwide event, we have to find ways to let each other know we are not alone. There’s a refrain that is repeated throughout the second half of this 13 minute film, and it’s an affirmation I want you to hear right now:

You are alive. You’re not alone.
