Each year the US Embassy is charged with selecting six US made short films that "represent the best in American short filmmaking" to screen for Indian audiences during the festival. “Things We Do For Love” is a short film about how far one family is willing to go to show their love for one another. Set in a small mining town in Northern New Mexico - coffins, fresh graves and a parade of odd funerals provide the backdrop for one family’s affection. In the end, why shouldn’t a funeral brighten someone’s day after all? “Things We Do For Love” was written and directed by New Mexican Don Gray and shot in the communities of El Rito, Ojo Caliente and Abiquiu NM.
