Fuck Death is the latest from director Graydon Sheppard. He tells me that he had less than a week to come up with the concept, write the spot, draw, animate and edit it. Created for the Fuck Death Foundation, it was screened recently at Camera Bar, Toronto before a showing of Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal. Full credits here.
