Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a 2000s wave of queer short films that rejected coming-out narratives for relationship aftermath—Postmortem asks what happens after the story ends.
Rapaport expanded this into the feature August (2011), but purists argue the short's brutal compression—no escape from that table—hits harder than the longer version's breathing room.
