Experiencing Interruptions?

"Just Grand"

A bizarre encounter in 1969 with a beautiful and frightening stalker has a ricochet effect into the present day, where a young woman grieves the loss of her grandmother.

“Just Grand” uses experimental elements to explore intergenerational hauntings while evoking a nostalgic feeling for the period.
