Dear David Director John McPhail On Translating Twitter Threads To The Big Screen

Dear David, a tech-savvy horror movie co-produced by Lionsgate and BuzzFeed studios, has had a unique journey from inception to execution. Based on a spooky Twitter thread by Adam Ellis, the movie was adapted for the screen by Evan Turner and Mike Van Waestars and directed by John McPhail (who is best known for Where Do We Go From Here? and the musical horror comedy Anna and the Apocalypse). Adam’s tale was also turned into the BuzzFeed article “My Apartment Is Being Haunted By The Ghost Of A Dead Child And I’m Not Sure What To Do,” a process that is covered in the movie as well.
