Rising indie filmmaker Grace Glowicki’s latest, “Dead Lover,” has attached sales agency Yellow Veil Pictures to shop the project out of the upcoming Sundance Film Festival. She serves as director, star and co-writer.
Premiering in the Midnight section, the film stars Glowicki as a lonely gravedigger who stinks of corpses. When she finally meets her dream man (Ben Petrie), their whirlwind affair is cut short when he tragically drowns at sea. Grief-stricken, she goes to morbid lengths to resurrect him through madcap scientific experiments, resulting in grave consequences and unlikely love.
Leah Doz and Lowen Morrow also star. Glowicki, Petrie, and Yona Strauss are producing. The screenplay was co-written with Petrie.
This marks the second feature from Glowicki following 2019’s “Tito,” which premiered at SXSW and earned the the Adam Yauch Hörnblowér Award “in honor of a filmmaker whose work strives to be wholly its own, without regard for norms or desire to conform.
