An Army officer arrives at Mrs. Cavanaugh’s door to inform her that a new algorithm predicts that her son Eddie will die in battle. Not “did” die, but “will” die. Since Eddie just enlisted yesterday, she feels this is hardly fair. The officer reminds her that the possibility of death was mentioned in the recruitment contract: “Page 12, in the fine print, at the bottom.” Mrs. Cavanaugh persists until she finds out Eddie will die a hero. “Will he be getting any medals? We can put them with his football trophies!” And then it just gets weird. By the way, there really is such a thing as a “death gratuity” when a loved one dies in battle, and yes, it really is $100,000. This is a comedy. (No, really.)
Directed by Jonny Lewis (USA)

Post-Coital is a web series about love, relationships and the conversations we have after sex. Each episode is set in a bed, and centres on a post coital conversation – from the most intimate, to the most awkward, to the most vulnerable, to the most liberating. 

This latest series follows Ella on her quest of sexual and self-discovery. When she finds herself (again) palmed off by yet another fuck-boy, Ella decides enough is enough, it’s time to dig deeper. In her encounters, she learns more about herself, her boundaries, her vulnerabilities, her power and what she really wants from a good relationship.

The series explores the intricacies of modern dating, provocatively unpacking the subjects that still remain taboo. It speaks to a young audience in a frank and honest way, and is filled with moments, characters and issues that everyone can relate to. And it’s funny, too.
