DIRECTING

“My Obsession with Death has got such a winning formula that Ruby’s musings on her own demise deserve to be and could likely do pretty well as part of a longer series, but alas this brilliant ten minutes will have to do for now.”

“Evelyn’s skill as both writer and director is evident in this darkly humorous tale, blending quirky comedic moments with unsettling themes. With its clever storytelling, impeccable production values, and standout performances, MOWD deserves high praise. Thornton’s brilliance on screen, coupled with Evelyn’s visionary direction and offbeat writing, make this a must-watch cinematic gem.”

“Alexis Evelyn’s My Obsession with Death is a 10-minute comedy that, along with its young adult protagonist, attempts to transcend its defining limits. Though the plot spans a few seconds, the story expands the moment, as thought and memory are wont to do. In them, Ruby finds a new way of being. ”
