Some words about the film

: Still image from the short film.

‘Till Death Do Us Part (TDDUP) is a 12-minute CG animated short film that was completed on May 10th, 2007. It was a pet project of Rick May that lasted more than 2 years of part-time and sometimes full-time work. It was a pleasure and honor to compose the score for this inspiring short film. Thank you Rick!

…As you may have guessed, this short film is not a comedy. I wanted to pick a topic that was very emotional. I wanted to push myself beyond my usual work and try to evoke sadness, happiness, and suspense. I wanted the viewer to really feel some intense emotions. Hopefully I’ll be successful.
