A message from your Directors...
So we finally got around to making a film. If we were to pitch it to Hollywood we would have said it was 'Indiana Jones' meets 'The Plank'. And then they would ask us to leave. So instead we went to The Animation Show. "A short film!" they said, "Great!" they said, "Just make sure its not about death!" they said, "So there's these two undertakers..." we said. And now, 9 months later, its time for our simple tale to be told. We hope you enjoy...
