GHOSTLIGHT: A FILM ABOUT FAMILY, ART, HUMOR & HEALING
After premiering at Sundance this year, Ghostlight has impressed audiences and critics alike with its touching and gently comic tale of the healing power of art. With 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and a high placing on Letterboxd's Top 10 films of the year.
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.
