A woman hires a photographer to document her estranged family’s last day with their dying matriarch, but her sister is running late.

Vanitas is a fiscally sponsored project of Film Independent, a non-profit independent media arts organization. It is currently in the Top 15% of all scripts on Coverfly and the Top 7% of all shorts.

We were recently featured on Kodak’s Instagram.
