Diary of a Ghost

Diary of a Ghost

Runtime 9:11

Diary of a Ghost delves into the poignant odyssey of Sage, a young woman grappling with the profound loss of her first love, Riley.
A year after his passing, Sage retreats into isolation within her grandmother's house, where eccentric behaviors and an immersive diary paint a portrait of her struggle. In this self-imposed seclusion, the diary becomes a portal to an imaginary realm where Riley's ghost persists, a manifestation of Sage's pain.
But the diary's pages are linked to a deadline—once the final chapter is written, Riley will depart, forcing Sage to face an unaltered reality. The arrival of her estranged friend Hailey adds a new dimension to Sage's emotional turmoil. Diary of a Ghost explores the impact of grief on the human psyche, delving into the experience of silently dealing with pain, scars, and the struggle for acceptance.
