Moon Manor
Sometimes learning how to live, is learning how to die.
On his last day alive, Jimmy will show his estranged brother, salt-of-the earth caretaker, sharp-witted death doula, a novice obituary writer, a cosmic being, and the guests at his FUNeral that sometimes the art of living just may be the art of dying. An exploration of what it means to have a “good death” and inspired by the life stories of 84-year-old lead actor James Carrozo, Moon Manor is the debut feature from female filmmaking duo KnifeRock, and marks the first original score by Coldplay producers The Dream Team.
Moon Manor debuts theatrically and streaming on-demand starting Friday, March 11, 2022.
