Dear David Trailer
Back in 2017, Buzzfeed artist and writer Adam Ellis created a Twitter thread. The thread started with “So, my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he’s trying to kill me.” After this, it slowly began to build up with more terrifying replies, creepy drawings of what he is seeing, and his slow descent into madness from it. This thread became instantly famous and people on Twitter were keeping up with the story.

The film synopsis states “Shortly after comic artist Adam (Augustus Prew) responds to Internet trolls, he begins experiencing sleep paralysis — while an empty rocking chair moves in the corner of his apartment. As he chronicles increasingly malevolent occurrences in a series of tweets, Adam begins to believe he is being haunted by the ghost of a dead child named David. Encouraged by his boss to continue the “Dear David” thread, Adam starts to lose his grip on what is online…and what is real. Based on the viral Twitter thread by BuzzFeed comic artist Adam Ellis.“
