Zam Salim's keenly awaited first feature is a witty, wonderfully lugubrious dark comedy that views life after death in a way that you have never seen before. Adapted from Salim's prize-winning short Laid off, Up There stars Burn 'Torchwood' Gorman as Mark. Killed in a car crash, Mark discovers that the afterlife is run by an officious, Kafka-like bureaucracy and has none of the benefits of being able to walk through walls or send shivers up the spine. Assigned the role of carer with motormouth novice Rash (Aymen Hamdouchi) as his sidekick, he is dispatched in search of a runaway. When he meets Liz (Kate O'Flynn) he might just have found a good reason for staying dead. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Great Scots.
