What we're here to reimagine...
The When You Die Project envisions a world where death isn’t taboo and something to be feared, but rather a part of life. Through our films, and death education, we aim to ease fear and anxiety by starting and continuing the conversation.

Death & dying was far richer and nuanced than I could have imagined. It wasn’t just a physical event, but emotional and spiritual. When the time for curing ends, the body knows how to die.
