GHOSTLIGHT

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. GHOSTLIGHT had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it generated great buzz as an audience favorite and an uplifting and crowd pleasing working class family drama.
