The Ecstasy of Decay Part 1: Your Mortician2011

A day in the life of a young mortician as she sets out to revolutionize the death industry one corpse at a time. The Ecstasy of Decay is two-part documentary film depicting the history and current state of the American funeral industry, created in collaboration with mortician Caitlin Doughty. Part one is a verité doc that follows Caitlin on her daily duties at the crematory. My first documentary film—and my first time inside a working crematory.
