She needs you to believe...

The Egg Ghost is the tale of a lonely man, working late in a creaky house, who crosses paths with an ancient sprit. Based on the Korean folk legend, and a favorite of parents whose kids could use a good scare, this story exposes the differences in beliefs and superstitions between older and younger generations of Korean Americans.

Our team includes a Korean producer living in Korea, a 92 year old Korean-American immigrant actress, and a diverse cast and crew.

So turn off the lights and enjoy a slice of Korean culture through our fresh adaptation of this creepy legend.
