“After His Life” is a docudrama that chronicles the route grief takes with widower Christina in the first 21 months after her husband suddenly, and unexpectedly died. She has to wrestle with feelings of sadness, shock, guilt, numbness and ultimately depression that all threaten to upend her life. The documentary examines the non-linear path that grief takes and illuminates what might be a path toward healing.

The film explores the future of filmmaking and the place that vertical documentaries have in cinema. It is shot natively vertically to further highlight the isolation and personal nature that a battle with grief brings. This cinematic choice continually brings the viewer closer to Christina and visually aids in de-emphasizing the environment and emphasizing the emotions, situation and person on screen.
