My Dead Boyfriend
Live it up
Directed by Anthony Edwards
Produced by Momentum Pictures, Orion Pictures
A darkly comedic exploration of grief and self-discovery wrapped in the absurdist premise of a woman learning to appreciate her dead boyfriend through his ashes.
Mary’s life has been defined by a string of temp jobs and a half-hearted attempt to become a writer. But all that changes when she comes home to find her boyfriend dead in front of the TV set. During her misadventures in trying to get rid of his ashes, Mary discovers that there was much more to her couch potato boyfriend than she ever thought imaginable.
