About Lydia's Funeral Video
The not-so-distant future. A dream-invading embryo. An obsession with the apocalypse. And four weeks to shoot a video, do some standup comedy, and terminate a pregnancy.
Holy shit.
a “powerful antidote” to 2007’s collection of “unintended-pregnancy-fests”
-- Claire Light, KQED Arts & Culture blog
"Spiked with surreal celebrity trash-culture references, sardonic moral relativity, and Chanse's biting wit, LFV celebrates irreverent political incorrectness and the societal gray areas in all of us."
-- Connie Hwong, Flavorpill
