WATCH TRAILER HERE:
Inspired by a true story and winner of the 2024 SXSW Audience Award, MY DEAD FRIEND ZOE is a dark comedy drama that follows the journey of Merit (Sonequa Martin-Green), a U.S. Army Afghanistan veteran who is at odds with her family thanks to the presence of Zoe (Natalie Morales), her dead best friend from the Army. Despite the persistence of her VA group counselor (Morgan Freeman), the tough love of her mother (Gloria Reuben) and the levity of an unexpected love interest (Utkarsh Ambudkar), Merit's cozy-dysfunctional friendship with Zoe keeps the duo insulated from the world. That is until Merit's estranged Vietnam veteran grandfather (Ed Harris), holed up at the family's ancestral lake house, begins to lose his way and needs the one thing he refuses...help. This autobiographical film from writer/director and U.S. Army combat veteran Kyle Hausmann-Stokes is an unexpected, uplifting exploration of a complicated friendship, a divided family, and the complex ways in which we process grief.
