Short Film: The Dead Collectors (2023)

Synopsis

Grandma is on her deathbed, surrounded by family. Downstairs, the Dead Collectors whine, “How much longer are they gonna take!” The two men talk about their job, collecting dead bodies. Upstairs, Grandma has words of wisdom for all her relatives.

How long is this gonna take?

Commentary

Remember those “Bring out yer dead” guys from Monty Python? Remember those “Covid is a government conspiracy” nuts? What if they put the two together?

This one is really well-made and exceptionally funny; possibly my favorite short of the year so far.
