My Conversations with Death
A wannabe social media entrepreneur is finding it hard to cope with a seemingly endless stream of life's failures. Resorting to end it all, he is stopped when none other than Death itself steps in and shows him a new path.
We have shot 65% of the film and need further backing to complete the remainder of the feature film. Based on the novel of the same name by Slovenian born writer Lan Artis.

My Conversations with Death
Andy is a 20-something cook, who dreams of becoming a successful social media personality. His personal life is in disarray as he juggles his lack of popularity, a dead-end job, his parent's divorce and an ongoing battle with depression.
When all his problems collide in one horrible night, he attempts to commit suicide. Before he can go through with it, he is stopped by an unlikely entity, Death itself, who promises to help Andy with his social media endeavours. With Death's help, Andy becomes an overnight viral sensation, and his life is turned upside down.
He soon realises that the life he so craved is not for him. His father's death finally makes him rethink his own life and the path he wants to walk down on.
