THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME COMES TO ITS FINAL LEG

Last Flight Home is a raw, deeply personal documentary by filmmaker Ondi Timoner that follows her father Eli’s final days as he chooses to end his life under California’s aid-in-dying law. The film explores the emotional complexities of death, family, and legacy—blending personal memory with universal themes of love, grief, and letting go. To promote such an intimate story, we crafted a trailer that honored its sensitivity while inviting audiences into a powerful meditation on life’s final chapter.

• Crafting Emotional Impact: Focused on ensuring the trailer conveyed the powerful human story without losing the authenticity of the film’s essence.

• Final Execution: Delivered a trailer that balanced cinematic storytelling with profound emotional truth—amplifying the film’s voice while honoring the dignity of Eli’s story.
