Story
About The Project
Hello Everyone!
Eulogilia tells the story of Vivian, a troubled young woman, who is sent to group therapy after her bizarre addiction to eulogize is discovered. In therapy, she meets a cast of kooky characters who ultimately help her realize that perhaps she’s not that crazy after all.
The idea of this short originated as a desire to write a comedy that could be universally appreciated and yet entirely different from anything I had ever read before. I decided the best way to do that was to focus on something that most people don’t find that funny: Death.
Ugh Death, Yuck! It’s something we all have experienced or inevitably will experience multiple times throughout our lives. This past year, I personally lost two of my grandparents. Going through the mourning process, I was overwhelmed by all the memories that came flooding back to me: Grandma’s Halloween cookies, Grandpa’s dramatized book readings, hours spent playing card games, talking showbiz, and the list goes on. I realized that the hardest part, for me, of saying goodbye wasn’t so much accepting that they were gone but rather the lingering fear that, when they passed, perhaps they didn’t know how much they influenced me, how often I thought about them, or just simply how much I really loved them. It was disconcerting to me to accept that, in a way, it took their passing in order for me to fully identify and quantify my feelings for them, as if some kind of blockade had been lifted.
It was this disturbingly enlightening moment, in addition to my previous confusing experiences with death, that really inspired me to complete this story. Eulogilia isn’t a story about me, but rather a story fueled and inspired by my personal journey trying to understand life and death: a complicated task that I’ve injected with comedy for everyone’s enjoyment!
This project is incredibly close to my heart. We will be making a killer movie (not “killer” as in OJ, “killer” as in unbelievable), with an outstanding cast and crew. Once completed, we plan on submitting and participating in the full film festival circuit and, from there, the sky is the limit!
Thank you so incredibly much for your support, whatever form it comes in!

Molly Will Write and Send You Your Own Antemortem Eulogy!
Creepy? ...Yea, OK, a little bit. However, did you know that it wasn't until reading his own prematurely printed obituary that Alfred P. Nobel came up with the idea of the Nobel Prize? Few remember, but Nobel actually made his "millions" primarily from inventing dynamite. When some journalistic error led to his obituary being printed antemortem, he was appalled reading the title: "The Merchant of Death is Dead." Not wanting to be remembered in such a negative light, he was inspired to donate the majority of his estate in order to create and fund the Nobel Prizes.
Perhaps reading your own eulogy will enlighten you and forever change your path/mark on this world? You're welcome (in advance).

Live Performance of Your (or a friend's) Eulogy!
Molly will write and perform your or a friend's eulogy, completely unannounced in public. This could be done on a doorstep, at a birthday party, at their place of work... pretty much anywhere she won't be arrested.
Imagine the potential here people: It's like a really creepy, and way funnier birthday or christmas-gram, just subtract the singing and sprinkle in some morbidity.
Don't have $1000 of your own to throw towards this? Don't fret. Get a group of your friends, coworkers, etc. to go in on it together as a gag gift for someone, sit back, and let the socially awkward hilarity ensue!
(Performance must be within an hours drive of Los Angeles, CA or coincide with a trip Molly is already taking)

Current Team
About This Team
We have an IMPRESSIVE team that is growing by the day!
IAN WARD- Producer
Ian graduated from Cornell University in 2008 where he concentrated on theater and film. He received his MFA in film and television production from USC's school of Cinematic Arts where he concentrated in producing. Ian's producing work has premiered at South by Southwest, the Cannes Film Festival, and Palm Springs International Film Festival. For his producing efforts Ian has been named a Coca-Cola "Refreshing Filmmaker", a Subway "Fresh Artist", and received a college television award from the Geena Davis institute on Gender in Media and Television.
MICHAEL RIZZI- Cinematographer
Michael Rizzi knew he wanted to make films from an early age. His parents bought a Sony a Hi-8 video camera when he was twelve and thus he began experimenting with the moving picture. Crude videos and stop-motion animation movies he created with friends fed his interest which eventually led him into video production classes at Sir Francis Drake High School in San Anselmo, California. It was here where he learned to organize his ideas through editing, sound design, and camera work. After graduation, he enrolled in the film department at San Diego State University where he discovered his love of cinematography and, naturally, shot as many projects as he could. He resides in Los Angeles and has shot numerous projects both domestically and internationally.
MOLLY BEUCHER - Writer
After graduating from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, Molly moved to Los Angeles to continue with her writing. A unique, fresh, and poignant writer she gracefully transforms the darker aspects of our human existence into sharp black comedies. A hater of scribing her own biography she has employed her fiancee (who is not a writer) to formulate this damn thing. As a result of her writing, Molly has recieved numerous accolades and has even been invited to the White House to accept an award from The President. Wildly charismatic, she blames her immense creativity on a stunning lack of desire to clean the house.
OUR CAST
This film is an ensemble piece that relies heavily on each and every cast member. All of our actors has been carefully chosen based on their incredible talents and their ability to best tell our story.
