Comments
Yo, We’re Dying is a comedy-forward story that would benefit from background actors who can give expressive reactions. These roles are perfect for those who enjoy matching the energy of comedic scenes with organic yet strong and distinctive facial expressions.
Storyline
A high-strung funeral director is forced to confront her workaholic lifestyle when she reconnects with her eccentric, free-spirited father who's got death beating down his door.
