00:02 My name is Matthew Tyler,
00:05 and I'm the writer/director of "The Looming Cloud,"
00:09 which premieres in the shorts program
00:10 at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

00:16 "The Looming Cloud" follows three siblings
00:19 after their mother's death as they return home
00:22 and face the strange and daunting task
00:25 of figuring out how to post about her death on social media.

00:32 The film is a very personal one
00:34 to different members of the team in different ways.
00:38 And I wanted to tell a story that was both comedic
00:41 and honest in its portrayal of grief
00:44 in this strange new world that we all live in.
00:47 I loved making this film.
00:52 We took this small but passionate crew
00:55 and this incredible cast,
00:57 and we drove up to the Berkshires in peak autumn.
01:00 So we were just surrounded
01:01 by all of these beautiful fall colors.
01:03 And we were all staying in this house
01:06 that we were filming in,
01:07 eating all our meals together,
01:09 all of us crammed in these three little bedrooms
01:11 in the house.
01:12 So by the end of it,
01:14 it felt like we had made not just a film,
01:16 but this little family together.
01:19 And all of us are so honored and excited
01:23 to be bringing "The Looming Cloud" to Sundance.
01:25 Most of us are gonna be there in person.
01:27 So come say hello, check out the film.
01:30 We can't wait to share it with you.
