Telefilm issued their press release for Canadian films selected at Sundance this year. I was really happy to hear that Julia Kwan’s film Smile made the cut. As I was going through the list, I couldn’t help but notice a short film called The Funeral, which was directed by Sara St. Onge.

The premise: “A dark comedy about a young woman in her early thirties becomes aware of her own mortality and reacts by meticulously planning her own funeral. Possibly due to a lack of other big days in her life so far, such as a wedding, this becomes her moment to shine.”

I couldn’t believe it when I read it. Not to mention that last year Matt blogged about another Canadian short film called The Saddest Boy in the World. A film about a young boy who tries to kill himself at his 9th birthday party.

There must be something in the air. Can’t wait to see it.
