Descripción: Written with lead actor Nick Skardarasy, the film draws inspiration from their respective childhoods. Ropp, having grown up as the child of a cancer patient, and Skardarasy, the son of a doctor who loved Halloween. However, it was only when Skardarasy shared the story of his father, and how he would have to potentially deliver bad news in full Halloween costume that it reminded Ropp of his own time “wandering around doctor’s offices (…) finding the absurdity, the comedy, and the weirdness that still existed underneath the most serious of situations”. It was this contrast that inspired the pair to write Kodar, with Ropp revealing that his goal with the short was to “navigate the extremely fine line between tragedy and comedy”. - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan
