A dark comedy about mass death.
A billionaire dies in humiliating circumstances. A flailing TV star's personal assistant struggles to maintain her professionalism after a traumatic day on the job. A frustrated therapist takes to social media to propose a radical solution for avoiding uncomfortable thoughts altogether.
These are some of the stories you can expect from DEAD OR DYING, a dark ensemble comedy set in a near-future Los Angeles in which humans are dying in droves and most of society has learned to live with it. This is the debut feature film from writer-directors John Purcell and Malin von Euler-Hogan and stars a stacked cast of Los Angeles and New York improv comedy stalwarts.
