Mom Died is a one-minute 2026 American short directed by Megan Park. The film follows eight siblings who learn that their grandfather has died, only for a broken chain of communication to trigger a chaotic family argument.
The deliberately compressed premise turns grief into a fast-moving ensemble comedy-drama, with multiple siblings contributing to the confusion. The project is part of the 15 Second Film production ecosystem, which specializes in extremely short narrative filmmaking.
Mom Died has been distributed through the 15 Second Film digital ecosystem, with current availability depending on platform and territory.
