About the Film;

COFFIN DODGERS

Our elderly couple with a dark quirky sense of humour have grown weary of life, over the years, life isn't what it used to be. On Frank's 69th Birthday, he is given a camera, which he accidentally drops into a fountain whilst on a day out. Once home, they discover that the camera now has the ability to turn them into teenagers again. This sends Alice and Frank on an adventure experiencing youth again, giving them the chance to see another side to their Granddaughter, as well as showing the youths of today a different perspective. The journey makes them realize what's the meaning of youth. Is it something physical, or just a state of mind?

The film deals with the age old concept of "You're as young as you feel"; the film has a dark comedic vibe, but at the heart of the piece it is a feel good tale of seizing the day.

The film's quirky nature is similar to that of 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, and the bitter yet loveable elderly couple take influence from Disney Pixar's UP.
