Ellie and Abbie (and Ellie's Dead Aunt)
The fight for a simple love story... that will never be simple.
Directed by Monica Zanetti
Produced by Cobbstar, Bohemia Media
A warm, playful coming-of-age romance about a teen navigating her first love and identity, guided by the comedic ghost of her aunt and grounded in genuine emotional stakes around self-discovery and family.
School captain Ellie is seriously crushing on her rebellious classmate Abbie. Determined to ask her first love to the year 12 formal, Ellie devises a plan to go public with the invitation but before she can go through with it, her dead aunt Tara reappears from beyond the grave. Believing she's been brought back from the dead to be Ellie's fairy godmother, Tara dishes out unwanted dating advice based on her life as an out lesbian in the '80s.
