Memento Mori (So Make The Most Of It!) @mementomorifilm.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Great news! Memento Mori's world premiere will be at @horrorigins.com in Tucson AZ later this month. I am so excited for the film's premiere and will be attending in person—come say hi if you can make it! #studentfilm #filmpremiere #filmfestival #mementomorifilm

Official movie poster for Memento Mori (So Make the Most of It!) featuring Dead Human Walking on the left and Red Reaper on the right. DHW looks concerned, while Red is smiling. Her scythe is laid across her eyes, obscuring them, while a pattern strip of psychedelic eyes covers DHW's eyes. Bisecting the poster and separating the two is a strip of bullseye patterns, red and yellow concentric rings on a deep purple background. Behind both are the psychedelic patterns found in the short.
Above both is the title MEMENTO MORI in black graffiti font. Below is the subtitle SO MAKE THE MOST OF IT! in white, different handwriting
At the bottom are typed credits: Writing/Animation/Music by Axel Bennett, featuring Link Stewart as Dead Human Walking and Mystic Waterz as Red Reaper, backgrounds by Carolina Rapp, sound design by Hazel Minozzi, graphic design by Yulissa Liranzo, thesis chair Jo Anne Adams, committee members Christina Christie, Dr. Stella Sung, and Dr. Lisa Mills.

I'm in awe of @shutyourcakehole.bsky.social 's acting. Look at what she can do without saying a word or moving a muscle! Is it any wonder she won Best Actress in a Feature at @horrorigins.com ? #EvilSublet #FrightClub
