she's not gonna get more dead

"in the film "daybreak" willie's character admonishes torch, who's been avoiding talking about willie's deceased mother, his lover. willie lets torch know "she's not gonna get more dead. she's as dead as she's gonna get." this video uses footage from "being mary jane" and select excerpts of black women vampires to meditate on what makes someone, and what it might look like to be, more than dead." - ariella tai
