Film Info
IndiePix is proud to offer LADY IN A BOX, the first short film by acclaimed playwright Jeffrey Stanley!
Loosely inspired by the infamous Terry Shiavo Case, the dark comedy LADY IN A BOX takes a satirical look at an American family's macabre desire to preserve the memory of a dead loved one.
Sarita Choudhury (MISSISSIPPI MASALA, LADY IN THE WATER) stars as a by-the-numbers lawyer attempting to keep the peace between the father (John Lordan,THE COMPANY, THE STRAIGHT STORY, THE NEGOTIATOR), brother (Luke Rosen), and husband (Sean Hayden) of a idealized woman too...dead to defend herself.

The roving digital camera of cinematographer Peter Olsen is crucial to the joke: Much of the comedy rides on reaction shots that capture the couple's faces frozen in every imaginable variation of mortified and abashed.
Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY
[Pak is] an uncannily assured visual storyteller, and his crew particularly cinematographer Peter Olsenmatches his creative fervor. The result is a quietly impassioned, genuinely stirring indie rarity.
Mark Holcomb, THE VILLAGE VOICE
Robot Stories, shot on DV, was lensed by Peter Olsen with a conscious design adapted to what digital can do best... The end result is quite impressive.
