Turning a human being into a work of art.

I met Tim on 23rd street near sixth avenue. He was sitting on the sidewalk with his back against a shuttered storefront. Before him perched a small hand-lettered cardboard sign that read:

Please Help
My dad passed away on Thursday
I am trying to get home for the
funeral and to be with my family
I only need $49 $39 more for a bus
Im not perfect but I wouldn’t lie about this

I told him I’d give him the money if I could use him for my art project. I told him I’d buy him a suit for his father’s funeral as well.

He agreed.

Watch the Film

“Funerals aren’t always fun.”

What do a stripper, a pissed-off night manager, a death-obsessed grad student, and a ditched housewife have in common? They cry for strangers at funerals… and get paid for it.

A dark comedy about a motley group of part-time professional funeral mourners who are paid to cry for complete strangers by a dubious funeral director. However, when a familiar face is suffering, they fail miserably at what they should do best.
