The Passing On is a documentary about an undertaker at one of the remaining Black funeral homes in the US. It was created by my RVA filmmakers Nathan Clarke & Tyler Trumbo. We’ll talk about:

– The inspiration for the project

– How they found the right undertaker

– Shooting in Texas over 3 years

– Working in an embalming room

– Film festivals during Covid

– The challenges of being Caucasian in the predominately Black setting
