Get Low (2009)

Released April 27 , 2010, in the US.

Filmed in Georgia.

The story: Felix Bush is a hermit who has been living alone for the last 30 years.

One day, while out working on his land, Felix is approached by someone he doesn't know and told that someone that he does know has passed.

This gets Felix thinking. He would like to arrange a funeral for himself.
He travels to the friend's funeral to pay his respects and afterwards finds himself at the church in town.

After Felix takes care of an unforeseen situation, he makes his way back home.

The very next day, the town's two funeral directors make their way to Felix's place, the younger of the two having to be the one who approaches him for practice.

When Felix realizes why the men are there, he sits down for some arranging.

Felix asks how the funeral would go, meaning who would attend and what would be said.

The young funeral director explains that it would be people who know him.

But not many people know Felix, and he knows this. But he also realizes that many people have heard stories about him.

Whether they are true or not, no one really knows.

So Felix comes up with the idea that anyone who has a story to tell about Felix should be invited to his funeral and tell that story.

Although he wants the after party before his funeral so he is able to attend.

All of this seems really out of the ordinary for the funeral directors, but they are willing to uphold his wishes.

What no one learns until after all the arrangements have been made, though, is that Felix has a secret that he wants out, and this is the only step towards that happening.
