SHORT OF THE MONTH - JUNE 2026 - More Dead Than Living - Directed by JT Dornan
Caught MORE DEAD THAN LIVING at Awesome-con Short Film Festival 2026. A surprisingly lively, strangely exuberant story about death and loneliness. One that examines sub cultures within subcultures, focusing on a Chinese American New Yorker Family.
This movie switches tones so many times, constantly zigging when I expected it to zag, but it always stays coherent. I love how real and raw it feels - occasionally it’s a bit rough around the edges, but to me that makes it all the more charming. The ending is so satisfying, unexpected and yet once it happens it also feels inevitable in the best way.
