Kaley Mamo

Logline: When Eve returns to her hometown to solve the mystery of her childhood friend Lizzy Owens' disappearance, she begins to use Lizzy's old dollhouse in the basement of the abandoned Owens family home to communicate with Lizzy's ghost - or so Eve thinks. A haunting and cathartic exploration of grief and girlhood.
