A divine little comedy about the afterdeath starring Jasmine Anthony (Commander in Chief, Stephen King's 1408) and Richard Edson (Stranger than Paradise, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Do the Right Thing).
Under There asks some pretty profound questions in a lighthearted way. Eight-year-old Samantha (JASMINE ANTHONY of ABC's popular drama Commander in Chief) is playing soccer in a cemetery when a mourner named Roman (RICHARD EDSON of Stranger Than Paradise, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Do The Right Thing) takes offense at the little girl’s failure to show what he considers to be proper respect for the dead. Roman scolds Samantha, then takes it upon himself to explain the Christian perspective upon death. Samantha listens politely; however, in the end, she clings to her unschooled understanding of the relationship between body and soul. As far as the naive Samantha is concerned, human beings simply return to the earth when they die. And you know what? She may very well be right

Besides finding it all too pat, he is slightly hurt that she planned it all without making use of his expertise. He suggests the more believable, site-specific murder possibilities of the third-floor balcony that fronts her husband's study. Hasker and Michelle finalize their plan and murder ensues.
