Rockin' the Coffin (2020)

What happens when we die? Can we ever shake our fear of death? Cailleah was raised to face hard topics straight on. From the time she was a child, her family improvised rituals and filmed home interviews to "inoculate" her brother and her against life's biggest questions - the kind her dad says, "adults can never answer but kids, if they are young enough, can." Then came COVID...and news that her dad was building a coffin. That seemed a bridge too far, even for him. Was it a death-defying act? Or just something to do with his hands? The family joked about how he's an old dad who's young at heart. But they had to know: did he sense something in his bones? Was this his way of making them face the truth about the future? "Rockin' the Coffin" offers a contrarian's guide to the good death using animation, creativity and play to address our most terrifying fears and the mysteries at the heart of life: how can we prepare for death and loss? What happens if we try?
