Higher

A short film about grief, marriage and the things a family only says out loud when the usual rules stop applying.

Higher unfolds over a single night. A couple in their late forties come home from a funeral, raw and worn out, and the evening takes an unexpected turn that loosens everything they have been holding in. What starts solemn turns into comedy, and then slowly becomes something tender and honest, about parenthood, about loss, and about a marriage that has weathered more than it lets on.

It is written as a two-hander in one location: small in scale, big in feeling. I am producing and appearing in it, and it is in active development now. Get in touch if you would like to hear more.
