If you have just been to one of those never-again family Thanksgivings from hell, then you will so relate to this rather wacky short film Die Surely
It’s the story of when gender-nonconforming Shirley Sadstone, crashes Thanksgiving dinner to the chagrin of the holier-than-thou family members. Pleasantries are quickly pushed aside when Shirley arrives and they verbally carve her up like the turkey before them
Queer filmmakers Ben Simpkins and Jason Hazzard ensure that even the gay couple don’t get a pass in this funny absurdist comedy which is far more biting than the meal itself.
