Trailer: I Am the Designated Mourner Jun 19, 2021

Something’s happening in the country where Jack lives. There’s violence in the streets. Leaders are being replaced. Public life is transforming.

As the once-liberal society around him descends into authoritarianism, Jack plunges into his own parallel decline, a chilling abdication of everything he once valued. Featuring Wallace Shawn, Deborah Eisenberg, and Larry Pine. Written by Wallace Shawn, directed by André Gregory, sound design and music composed by Bruce Odland, and produced by Sean Williams.
