Plot

A self-proclaimed (somewhat justifiably) film legend bribes his son to document his death under the unquestioning assumption that it will be historically important. The Result; In Memory of My Father, a twisted celebration of a Hollywood family narcissistically dealing with an eventfully frustrating day, regardless of the subtly distracting centerpiece which they're forced to endure; Dad's corpse.

Production

The film was constructed within a three month period from concept to wrap. Jaymes wrote the film based on a house that was once owned by Samuel Goldwyn and was available to use free of charge by an investor that put up approximately $35,000 to make the film. It was shot in 5 days. Post-production was completed in Vienna, Austria with Niki Klingohr's company Interspot Film.
