The Death of Dick Long
Two small-town bandmates try to cover up the death of their third member, Dick, in this black comedy by director Daniel Scheinert (one half of the directing duo known as DANIELS, who made the bonkers Swiss Army Man).
"From a daring, provocative, outrageous screenplay by Billy Chew, director Daniel Scheinert [...] expertly balances the hilarity and heartache of what happens when dark secrets are dragged kicking and screaming into the light." (Sundance Film Festival)
