GIRL WHO MARRIED A GHOST (THE)
|
A rich and powerful Native chief lives on a paradise island with his wife and beautiful daughter, Ramona. The chief does not want Ramona to get involved with any of the local men and he’ll go to any length to ensure this. But one day, the chief goes too far – he violently attacks a handsome young shaman, Gabriel Raven, for visiting Ramona. An angry Gabriel transforms himself into a spirit and comes to the girl at night, tricking her into running away with him. The next morning Ramona discovers Gabriel is a ghost – a pile of bones on a deserted beach – and that she is pregnant. What is to become of her now?

Sandra Sawatzky
Director
Writer, director, producer Sandra Sawatzky has made her mark with dialogue-less films. Her three shorts, Passing Lane, The Water Cooler and Belly Boat Hustle, as well as her first feature film, The Girl Who Married a Ghost, all forego traditional dialogue and utilize action in its place. Her distinctive, award-winning films are observations of human comedy and error. Belly Boat Hustle was on many festival “Best of” lists and inspired the Dance on Camera festival in New York to hold a Canadian dance film perspective. The short was also included in the show Workspheres at the Museum of Modern Art.
