Our sound recordist Cecile who's Dad was in the band 'The Farm' with their hit song 'All together Now' features in Dying with Laughter.
Due to the pandemic the crew didn't know if productions would go ahead due to the government guidelines constantly changing.
Cleo was originally brought on for another short film, before changing films to make Dying with Laughter. Ollie and Josh thought she would be a perfect fit for Lucy along with the rest of the crew.
In a scene where you see John dancing Amal wasn't told about it prior to shooting the scene. Ollie felt that it was more natural to the scene and just had the camera rolling and for Amal to do what ever felt nature. Just before Amal was shown Hugh Grant's dancing scene in 'Love Actually'. this scene resulted in all crew behind the camera not being able to stop laughing and smile.
Josh wrote the script originally as a dark drama.
