    Death Becomes Us
    And Hands Are With Us
    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    DEATH BECOMES US: HANDS ARE WITH US is a documentary film that explores the perspectives on death from people whose everyday work accompanies people’s path from their death to their burial.

    SYNOPSIS
    The mission of this film is to raise awareness that death is a natural part of life, which would be helpful to everyone. The method of achieving this is to learn from people how their understanding of death has been developed through their work. The significant question will be asked is when and how they began their work and did itchange or affect their perspective on death. Also did they have personal experiences dealing with close friends or family members. I already meet with subjects of my films before I conduct an interview to create a personal relationship. Below is a basic list of questions in the interviews with the film’s subjects. I also am open to my conversations with the film subjects during the interviews to create what questions to ask.
