Ghostlight

When melancholic construction worker Dan (Keith Kupferer) finds himself drifting from his wife and daughter, he discovers community and purpose in a local theater’s production of Romeo and Juliet.

As the drama onstage starts to mirror his own life, he and his family are forced to confront a personal loss.

A small film that elicits a huge emotional response, Ghostlight is a deeply moving and superbly acted meditation on grief.

Ghostlight segues from lighthearted comedy to poignant drama and then back again, masterfully handling those transitions in a way that feels subtle and natural.
