AFTER THE VIEWING, BEFORE THE FUNERAL
A tragic death by suicide threatens to further fragment an already dysfunctional family. As the title suggests, this film takes place during the few hours before a funeral. It is a harsh biting commentary on how those that you love can also become those that you hate.

The suicide of Brad Reed brings his family together and tears it apart in this drama set in the hours between his viewing and funeral. Dark family secrets come to light, forcing the choice between confrontation or denial. This film deals with mature themes.

After the Viewing, Before the Funeral was written and directed by Michael Martin and produced by Samantha Wright. It stars Michelle White, Laura Kerbs, Craig Kreiser, Carol Bachhelder, Sean Hancock, Jacob Koeppl, Douglas Hoggatt and Kathy Waddell.
