MR POSTMAN - A SHORT FILM
Jay Postman, working as the youngest generation of Postmans’, isn’t fond of the living or the dead, and unfortunately– his family business works with both.
The Postmans deliver letters from the dead to their loved ones, especially for those who were not able to give their final words. There is only one main rule in this industry: Deliver the letter no matter what.
And on Jay’s first assignment, he meets a young woman as her client, Annabelle, who wishes to send a letter to someone who simply isn’t there, or someone that Jay cannot find.
The Postmans
A family business that had begun since the dawn of time and the dawn of death. Their mission is to provide the dead with a service who had not been able to give their final words to their loved ones, pass down their belongings, choose an heir for their wealth, or any other reason you could possibly find. The next generation of this industry is meant to be Jay Postman, who, to his parent’s disappointment, is deathly scared of the dead and hates being around the living, or just people in general.
And also, !!THIS IS A NON-PAY PASSION PROJECT!!

Holy smokes, you're dead! Okay, that's a dead person... That's alright, right right right... (Panicked and frantic, but trying to hide it))
Ha! You're funny. ...Wait. You aren't joking? (Awkward and from genuine amusement to relisation)
