Half year ago, after a near-death experience, young photographer Yao-Ting accidentally took a photo of Elenie, the female Death. She looked like his lover who died ten years ago. After being told that he has only one year to live, Yao-Ting tries every kind of way to die so he could take the most beautiful photos of her. Yet, what he doesn’t know is that when a Death fells in love with a human, the order between life and death will collapse.

Horrible Imaginings is proud to announce what we hope will be an on-going tradition--the inclusion of a youth and student film block of films! Hsin-Yen LU's death fable THANATOS is full of very interesting ideas and cleverly-staged death scenes that show remarkable promise in this student's filmmaking future! Joining LU in the Youth and Student Showcase will be two young filmmakers--John Capizzano IV (16), who will have his short film "The Legend of Carter Street" and Morgana McKenzie (15) who will have her music video "We All Go the Same."
