Director Statement

My friend used to work at a pet crematorium. His stories bummed everyone out except for me. So I made a movie! In researching the strange world of pet cremation, I found the gruesome procedures, kitschy religious art, and commercialization of death strangely hilarious and poetically human. I hope you do, too!
