Pregnant and Dying is a short film about a young woman named Elma who finds herself both pregnant and dying. She learns very quickly that her body is not her own when her family – bereft and confounded by the seemingly paradoxical circumstances – claim rights to the unborn fetus growing inside of Elma. Reality very quickly transforms into something less recognizable, as Elma and her family wrestle over questions of what we owe to each other in extraordinary situations. 



Inspired by Cindy Sherman's Rear Screen Projections series, Pregnant and Dying is filmed almost entirely using rear screen projection and features one actor playing almost all of the roles. Written and Directed by Rachel Garber Cole, Co-Directed and Production Design by Johnson Henshaw, Director of Photography Jordan Levie, Editor Jesse Ruuttila.
