FILM SYNOPSIS:

Plagued by grief after a devastating family tragedy, Dan (Keith Kupferer), a middle-aged construction worker, finds it increasingly difficult to connect with his devoted wife and troubled daughter until one day when he unexpectedly and inadvertently falls into the company of a group of misfit thespians. Aimless and looking for ways to avoid confrontation with his family, he reluctantly agrees to participate in a table reading of Romeo and Juliet until the scene-stealing Rita (Dolly De Leon of Triangle of Sadness) convinces him to join the company. What follows is a testament to the healing and cathartic power of live theatre, exquisitely realized by a pitch-perfect script penned by co-directors Alex Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan. Masterfully crafted with heart and humor, Ghostlight is an independent gem that continues to resonate long after the curtain closes.
