Lost on the dreary Oregon coast, Fran wastes her daylight hours in the solitude of a cubicle, listening to the constant hum of officemates, occasionally daydreaming to pass the time. She is ghosting through life, unable to pop her bubble of isolation. Then, Robert started up at the company. He is new to town and the dynamics of the office. He is a naturally friendly person who keeps trying to chat with Fran. Though it goes against every fiber of her being, she may have to give this guy a chance.

Director Rachel Lambert and her team craft beautiful cinema for this delicately told story of love for the socially awkward and emotionally challenged. The film is made all the more human by its lovely cast (which features Walla Walla’s own Rich Hinz), but this is most prominent in the penetrating eyes of lead actor-producer Daisy Ridley and the caring smile of lead actor Dave Merheje. Sometimes, I Think About Dying is an unexpected fable on the virtues of living.
