00:07 - Oh, hi.
00:14 My name is Kate Jean Hollowell,
00:15 and I'm the director, co-writer,
00:17 and star of "Say Hi After You Die."
00:20 Follow me.
00:21 I'll take you on a tour of my short film.
00:23 It's actually locked.
00:28 "Say Hi After You Die" is a short film
00:31 that follows me, Gloria,
00:33 as I navigate the grief of losing my best friend,
00:36 which eventually leads me to believe
00:39 that she's reincarnated as a porter potty.
00:41 I know what you're thinking.
00:42 That I got into Sundance?
00:45 Are we rolling?
00:46 - Almost.
00:48 - Hey, guys.
00:48 I hate to say this, but Miranda's been fired.
00:51 As a person, I've always been interested in death,
00:54 and I don't know why I'm smiling while I said death,
00:57 but I have always been interested in it,
00:59 and the afterlife, and how we grieve,
01:02 and how everyone grieves differently.
01:04 [crow cawing]
01:04 I...
01:05 See, look, there's my dad, the crow.
01:07 I actually believe that people can come visit you
01:12 or send you signs from the afterlife,
01:14 and so knowing that that is kind of a crazy thing to believe
01:19 and having experienced loss at a young age
01:23 of both my parents,
01:24 I felt like I really wanted to...
01:27 Dad.
01:28 I felt like I wanted to make something
01:30 that was heartfelt and grounded,
01:32 but somehow brought a little bit of comedy and joy into it
01:36 because it's the only way to get through
01:38 anything hard, honestly.
01:41 This film means a lot to me,
01:43 and I'm so excited for it to premiere
01:45 at Sundance this year.
01:47 I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
01:50 See you at Sundance.
