Excerpt

 

S.T.T.L. (Sit tibi terra levis, or "May the earth rest lightly on you") is a short video about the way we die. As human death is typically hidden from everyday life we often imagine it occurring as an abrupt event. A hospice volunteer describes the most likely scenario of my life's end.

S.T.T.L. is the first installment of the trilogy about death (S.T.T.L.), money (EVER UPWARD), and war (THIS WE WILL DEFEND).
