DIRECTOR / PRODUCER
Memento Mori (Latin for Remember, You Shall Die), is a film that captures the essence of the most honest truth of prevailing human existence - that we will all, eventually, die. The film trespasses into the never before seen experience of dying - of that moment when one’s cessation is imminent. Memento Mori takes place at the cusp of the memoirs of those who want to die and those who aren’t yet ready. It’s the veritable conflict that paves way to understanding our fear of death, experiences of the final stages of dying, and the loss felt by those we will leave to grieve.
