TERMINALLY ILL (2024)

It’s a play on words!

But TERMINALLY ILL is also a good short that constantly approaches being corny before there’s a change that averts total cringe.

The basic premise for this short film, written and directed by Chris Cole, is as follows:

When a struggling rapper is summoned to his grandmother’s deathbed, he engages in a madcap freestyle in a hilarious but heartbreaking attempt to prevent her from dying.

Honestly, I was on the fence about it until I heard the line “Hamilton-ass rap” and then I was like “okay - this works.”
