THE PROCESSION
USA/12:26 MINUTES
Director: ROBERT FESTINGER
Writer: ROBERT FESTINGER
Producer: TATIANA KELLY, ROBERTA MUNROE
Cast: LILY TOMLIN, JESSE TYLER FERGUSON, LUCY PUNCH
Synopsis:
Julie tearfully asks her brother, Jason, and their Mom to attend the funeral of a friend. Mom and Jason would rather not - they'd never even met the deceased woman. But they can't say no. They do manage to negotiate with Julie, agreeing to go to the service, but not the burial. After the service, Mom and Jason, both famished, try to drive past the cars exiting the church and get stuck in the funeral procession. Mom and Jason realize they have to drive all the way to the cemetery, so as not to break up the procession. Once they get everyone there, Mom and Jason will go on their way without ever stepping foot out of their car. It's a plan. What isn't the plan is where Mom and Jason forget they're in the procession, desperately try to find the cars they were following, and now blindly lead the rest of the procession.
