Ghostlight Interview: Meet the Real Family That Stars in the Sundance 2024 Gem
10A number of films made a whole lot of noise at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, films like A24’s highly anticipated Love Lies Bleeding and It’s What’s Inside which sold to Netflix for a whopping $17 million. They’re both fantastic films well deserving of their buzz and acclaim, but there’s a small indie gem that started to make waves at the film festival that’s not to be missed, a film that rocks some of the very best performances of the entire festival. It’s Ghostlight from directors Alex Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan, a movie that secured North American distribution from IFC Films and Sapan Studio.
Keith Kupferer leads as Dan, a construction worker struggling to power through a family tragedy who’s become increasingly cut off from his wife and daughter, roles that are filled by Kupferer’s real life family, his wife Tara Mallen and their daughter Katherine Mallen Kupferer. Dan finds comfort, hope and healing from one of these most unexpected places, a local theater company putting together a low-rent production of Romeo and Juliet.
Ghostlight is an incredibly charming and emotional film that highlights the power of storytelling as Dan recognizes parallels between his own life and the drama unfolding on stage. With O’Sullivan, Thompson, and the Kupferer-Mallen family in Park City for Ghostlight’s world premiere, the group visited the Collider interview studio brought to you by Film.io to discuss their experience making this gem of a movie. Check out this interview to learn about how Ghostlight wound up being a surprise next film for Thompson and Sullivan after Saint Frances, to hear about moments when the actors were in awe of what their family members were able to achieve with their crafts, and loads more!
