And just who will be taking the directorial reigns? The line-up is as follows; Kaare Andrews (‘Altitude’), Angela Bettis, Adrián García Bogliano, Bruno Forzani & Hélène Cattet, Ernesto Díaz Espinoza, Jason Eisener (‘Hobo with a Shotgun’), Xavier Gens (‘The Divide’), Jorge Michel Grau, Lee Hardcastle, Noboru Iguchi (‘Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead’), Thomas Cappelen Malling, Anders Morgenthaler, Yoshihiro Nishimura, Banjong Pisanthanakun, Simon Rumley, Marcel Sarmiento, Jon Schnepp, Srdjan Spasojevic (‘A Serbian Film’), Timo Tjahjanto, Andrew Traucki, Nacho Vigalondo, Jake West (‘Doghouse’), Ti West (‘The Innkeepers’), Ben Wheatley (‘Kill List’), Adam Wingard (‘V/H/S’), and Yûdai Yamaguchi.
“Inspired by children’s educational books, the feature is comprised of 26 individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were given free reign to choose a word to represent a form of death based on their letter. This will be a celebration of death in all its forms. From the shocking and exotic through to the banal and droll. The spectrum of cause will run from the accidental through to murder most foul. It is up to each director to interpret the letter (word) they are assigned.”
