GET LOW (2010)

Cast

Plot

Felix Bush has lived as a hermit for 40 years. With death looming and guilt weighing him down, he decides to shuffle off with a funeral party. As he tells funeral director Frank Quinn, who finds the request bizarre since Felix plans to attend his own wake, "Time for me to get low". Invitations are posted around the county along with a land raffle to encourage as many people to attend as possible because the one thing Felix is dying to hear about are the tall tales that the community have created around him over the years. Cinematographer turned director Aaron Schneider shows a deep affection for his characters in this beautifully performed and charmingly idiosyncratic film loosely based round a real 1930’s incident.
