Director Statement

Dead Weight is a short comedy about confrontation. The film follows a pair of housemates attempting to contact a ghost. While they may be dealing with a spook, what actually needs exercising is a toxic housemate. This film deals with themes of finally standing up for yourself and not letting others walk all over you. Told through the funny lens of a ghost story.
