On the Death of His Wife

Danny: "The whole challenge and purpose of the film was to see if I could make a short that would cost absolutely nothing to make but still tell a story with emotional resonance, a suitable structure and a definite resolution without resorting to a sketch-style short or gimmicky methods."

On The Death of His Wife is about a widower who gives a poetic tribute to his wife as he recalls fond memories of their domestic routine together.

Running time is 3mins 25secs.
