A man is unnerved by the sight of an open grave which is never filled in the cemetery on his way to work ever day.
Our Comments
“The Open Grave” has very good potential to be a film. How often we lose the important things in the monotony of everyday life, is depicted well. The pace of the screenplay keeps us hooked till the end. The characters add good value to the storyline.

Writer Statement "The Open Grave" is a very 'Twilight Zone-ish' tale with a twist ending, perfect for a TV anthology series or to stand alone as a compelling short film.
