Skipton Town Hall is happy to show D(e)AD, an independent crowdfunded dark comedy coming to the UK from the States for exclusive screenings!

Tillie (Isabella Roland), a floundering young woman and her charismatic, alcoholic father (Craig Bierko), struggle to resolve their fractured relationship in the weirdest possible way: after he dies, his ghost appears in mirrors to haunt everyone in the family but Tillie. Tillie’s sister, Violet (Vic Michaelis), mother (Claudia Lonow), grandparents (Mark Lonow and Joanne Astrow), stepfather (Jonathan Schmock), and even Violet’s free-spirited baby daddy (Nick Marini), must do everything they can to make Tillie see her father… even employing a very reform rabbi (Eddie Peppitone) to exorcize him… or else they will be plagued by this ghost forever.

What do you get when you have three generations of comedians in on family, and someone dies? If you guessed an independent autobiographical self-funded feature-length dark comedy, you’d be absolutely right. D(e)AD is written by and starring Isabella Roland (Dropout.tv, Sex Lives Of College Girls); and directed by and starring Isabella’s mom, Claudia Lonow (creator/showunner of How to Live With Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life, Accidentally on Purpose, Good Girls Don’t and Rude Awakening); and also the rest of their family.
