This Way Up

Laying the dead to rest has never been so much trouble. This Oscar Nominated short is directed by Smith & Foulkes and written by Foulkes, Smith, and Christopher O’Reilly, and produced at Nexus by Charlotte Bavasso and Christopher O’Reilly, the film follows two dour unfortunates as they battle a series of misadventures while trying to deliver a coffin to the graveyard.

An Undertaking

Have you ever wondered what life must be like as an undertaker?  Graduate filmmaker Ed Emsley did and decided to make a short documentary on the subject. The result is not, as you might think, at all morbid.

The documentary follows James Showers and married couple, the Callenders, who are independent undertakers. They have chosen funeral directing and it has become their vocation. This documentary looks into how they deal with death on a daily basis and explores their thoughts on their own mortality.
