As Director, Editor, and Co-Producer, I crafted this surreal short film as a darkly comic reflection on mortality and redemption. The story follows a man—reminiscent of a demented Forrest Gump—grappling with the end of his life as he engages in a strange and heartfelt conversation with an angel from heaven. Blending absurdity with sincerity, the film explores what it means to confront your past before crossing into the afterlife.
