JUST A PIECE OF CAKE

Featuring Mike Pixley + Sarah McDaid

A short film on the subtleties of grief and death. 
Just A Piece of Cake features a man reflecting on the death of his father, at dusk on the family farm, after everyone has long departed the funeral service. 
The film explores the relationship between emotions and physical artifacts, and how we imbue meaning to inanimate objects due to their psychological significance. 
 
In the end, it's just a piece of cake.

Why did we make this film?

In a very run of the mill project debrief, we realized we still had a classic ‘85 C10 on our hands from “The Letter”, and so we decided to build a short film around it. We challenged ourselves to write something that could be shot in a day, and with a total production budget (minus crew) of $1000.

So the 1K:1Day was born.
