The group also discuss indie filmmaking.

Summary A William Shakespeare classic is brought to life in a unique new way with Ghostlight. The indie drama revolves around Dan, a melancholic construction worker whose relationships with his wife and daughter are straining under his aimless feelings of his life.

Kelly O'Sullivan: It started with Romeo and Juliet, and then his real-life events kind of sprung from there. I knew I wanted to have a character who desperately needed a place for expression find that in theater. And then, when I was thinking about what the family might have gone through, Romeo and Juliet just fit so perfectly, and I had been wanting to explore some of the themes in Romeo and Juliet. And as I've gotten older, the story is way less romantic to me, and far more tragic.

Keith Kupferer: I think, as far as modulating it, Kelly and Alex were instrumental in that, just how we sort of navigated his journey, as far as releasing the grief, or the anger in certain moments, and not to get there before the end of the film. Surprising myself with my anger, no, unfortunately, it's my baseline.

I love that, the CEO of the family. Katherine, I love what a firecracker Daisy is, and I know, as a youth in theater once, parents can sometimes be like backup directors for you. How does that change or evolve when they are also your co-stars? And of course, they have moments, as really skilled actors, of letting themselves be a little bit less skilled, which I think is one of the most difficult things you can do as an actor is to strip away some of your own skill. Like, Keith, for instance, is so brilliant in the way that he evolves his performance, that Dan becomes a better actor as he goes.

I love that. Katherine, another very wonderful gift for me was getting to hear your pipes in a karaoke scene. When is the debut album coming out? Who did this? Alex Thompson: It's a mix of a lot of different takes. Kelly O'Sullivan: That's right. Yeah. But I mean, it's incredible. Katherine did an incredible, incredible job. Ultimately, we decided that we wanted a voice that was like, "Oh, she's gonna go be on Broadway as a musical theater singer.

And I know that sounds like some a----le actor talk. But yeah, you learn about yourself as a performer as you do certain scripts. There have been a handful that, I would say, I was really proud of, because most of the time, you're just doing stuff to get your health weeks or whatever. Keith Kupferer: You want the truth? That's the truth? They're not all this.
