Director Statement

Inspired by a nightmare of mine, "Ghost Story" is a film about an ordinary man driven to extraordinary means to connect with a person he loves - a universal human feeling. We see this grief transform into obsession, which then gives way for sinister events to unfold. This is a drama that doesn't know it's a horror.
