ABOUT THE FILM
I had a great time creating this fun film with my daughter. We had to shoot in two days. We shot all the scenes without her in ghost makeup on one day and then her in costume the second day. While we did the cemetery scene, it started to drizzle, so we only had three takes for that scene. The entire film was shot at our home. Most of the props were purchased from the dollar store nearby. Because my daughter had lost several teeth over the summer, she had fun making a scary face with her missing teeth. This was a fun mommy-daughter film project. :)
I hope you enjoy!
