Alex Thompson and Kelly O'Sullivan’s moving, gently comic collaboration is about the power of live theater to make sense of our offstage dramas and personal narratives.

Ghostlight centers on Dan (Keith Kupferer), a melancholic middle-aged construction worker grieving a family tragedy. Cut off from his devoted wife, Sharon (Tara Mallen), and talented but troubled daughter, Daisy (Katherine Mallen Kupferer), Dan finds comfort and community in a misfit company of amateur actors.

While moonlighting in a low-rent production of Shakespeare’s most protean tragedy, Dan is forced to confront his buried emotions. Real-life family Mallen, Kupferer, and Mallen Kupferer bring tenderness and authenticity to this poignant portrait, while Dolly de Leon — last seen stealing the scene in Triangle of Sadness — is hilarious as Dan’s irascible, improbable co-star.

"A small film that elicits a huge emotional response, Ghostlight is a deeply moving and superbly acted meditation on grief." - Critics Consensus, Rotten Tomatoes

"Ghostlight" is a sublime, stirring, mesmerizing treaty on the transformative power of art and the connective thread to the human spirit. It’s gut-wrenching and extraordinarily beautiful, a tragi-comedy that's about as perfect as a film can be." - Morbidly Beautiful
