SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT DYING

Synopsis

Lost on the dreary Oregon coast, Fran (Daisy Ridley) finds solace in her cubicle, listening to the constant hum of officemates and occasionally daydreaming to pass the time. She is ghosting through life, unable to pop her bubble of isolation, when a friendly new coworker, Robert (Dave Merheje), persistently tries to connect with her. Though it goes against every fiber of her being, she may have to give this guy a chance.

Director Rachel Lambert and team have crafted a beautiful film for this delicately told story of love for the socially awkward and emotionally challenged. Made all the more human by its lovely cast — most prominent in the penetrating eyes of lead actress/producer, Daisy Ridley (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), and the caring smile of lead actor, Dave Merheje — Sometimes I Think About Dying is an unexpected fable on the virtues of living.

🏆 Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize (Dramatic) at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
