Dark Comedy

“Wickedly dark… hilarious, quirky and heartfelt.” -- Variety

Academy Award winner Olympia Dukakis (Moonstruck) is Grace, a woman of few words and the aunt of Kemp, who—after 30 years—has traveled cross-country to be with her on her deathbed.

Kemp’s problem is: she’s not dying fast enough.

Gallows humor and Kemp’s quirky points of view on humanity and mortality fuel the delightfully dark narrative of Vigil.

Let’s not talk about anything depressing, alright? Do you want to be cremated? —Kemp
