‘What Cheer?’, A Short Film In Which a Bewildered Widower is Endlessly Followed by a Relentless Marching Band

What Cheer?“, a short film by Five Eyed Films that features actor Richard Kind as a bewildered man who’s being followed around by a relentless marching band, played by the What Cheer? Brigade, after his wife dies unexpectedly. At first he is in denial of his wife’s death but becomes fascinated with the band before becoming annoyed, frightened and bewildered by the constant noise. It’s when he finally reaches a point of acceptance that the music quiets down, as if it were playing out each stage of his grieving process to the end.
