    Team Statement

    To us, MARROW is the perfect exploration of a very real human fear. Death and ageing waits for no man and we especially wanted to follow the perspective of a person who has to witness death every day: a paramedic. 

    This script started with our director, Jay's, experience of witnessing his grandfather's passing. Rather than simply questioning mortality, he wrote this script to process his own understanding of existential dread—how this universal fear can consume us, exploring how even the most basic, rational fears can bring out the most violent and senseless responses.
