film poster for the documentary, the love and death of yosef and zilli.
_how
director dean gold got in touch with us after seeing our poster work for the canadian films firecrackers, the great darkened days and anne at 13,000 feet. he sent us a copy of this his latest documentary and it floored us. it's an unflinchingly personal film and knowing we were to try and make a poster for it was particularly humbling. we've seen few films like it.

the film chronicles the final chapter of yosef and zilli abrahami's lives. after 62 years of marriage, the couple decided to take their lives together to avoid the physical decline of old age. their youngest son, doron, uses his video camera to document their memories and their planned passing. 

we presented a series of concepts for the poster. dean immediately went for the idea you see here as he felt it captured the feeling of his film best. the poster is an homage to the striking, 2017-18 paintings of stephanie serpick. caspar took the photograph used for the poster in his own bedroom in new york city.

you can watch the film here. if you have a spare 20 minutes, we cannot recommend it enough.
