After-Life
You can't change the past, no matter how hard you try.
Directed by Mateo Trujillo-Hobbs
A metaphysical drama about a dead man's struggle for redemption and self-understanding in a liminal afterlife, grappling with mortality and the weight of past choices.
Michael Paton is dead, with no recollection as to why. Separated by death, Michael's body and soul have to work together to escape the After-Life, and salvage what redemption they have left.
