Director Statement

When loved ones pass away, sometimes more emphasis is placed on who is going to get what instead of mourning the loss. I've seen instances where the children ran to claim life insurance the day after the funeral. This project sees an older couple meeting with their granddaughters to discuss when this will happen in their lives. The selfish girls argue and negotiate who gets what in front of their Pop Pop and Mama G in an attempt to please themselves while frustrating their grandparents. In the end, we all get what we get and we can like it or not.
