Out for Delivery
Out for Delivery is a 2025 short film directed by Chelsea Christer. The film premiered in the U.S. Fiction Short Films category at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2025.[1] SynopsisThe film follows a woman who, following the worsening of her cancer diagnosis, chooses a dignified death option and arranges for her body to be picked up; however, a delay in the package containing her suicide pill causes logistical problems. BackgroundChrister and her team planned and arranged the production in the span of nine days.[2] Critical receptionFilm Threat gave the short a 9 out of 10, writing that it "works thanks to a tight control of its tone and perfect casting. Its short runtime ensures the story does not overstay its welcome, and it ends in the only way it truly can."[3] Horror Buzz gave the short a 7 out of 10, stating that it "has a heck of a cast and creative concept. While the short film contains plenty of jokes and entertains, it’s not without its contemplative, dramatic moments. Though the ending feels definitive, I wouldn’t mind watching a feature-length film."[4] References
