Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 3-minute runtime isn't a constraint—it's the point. Grief doesn't respect narrative arcs; it arrives, destroys, and lingers without closure.
Director James Raynor made this as a proof-of-concept that micro-horror can carry feature-film emotional weight. Festival programmers reportedly requested breath mints after screenings.
