Death in Training
Directed by Miguel Angel Duran
United States | 14 min | 2023
On his first day as a trainee, Death mistakenly takes the wrong soul and embarks on a hilarious journey trying to correct his mistake, but his antics only seem to cause more chaos and confusion in this zany comedy.
Death in Training is a comedic take on the origin story of the grim reaper. In this reimagining, Death is a clumsy 20-year-old trainee who must collect one soul in order to become the next Soul Collector. But when he mistakenly takes the soul of the wrong patient, he embarks on a wild journey with John's nurse, Mariela, to return the soul and fulfill his destiny.
