My Roommate Lucy Feature Film

Aim: Help us bring our film to life and share a story that’ll inspire and move you. Your support makes it happen!

"What if your newest roommate wasn’t exactly... alive?

My Roommate Lucy is a warm, witty, light-hearted paranormal drama that explores the power of friendship, healing, and the bonds that unite us, no matter the barriers, physical or spiritual.

It’s a story that explores healing, hope, and how the people or spirits we least expect can help us find our way."

Our film follows Joe, a reserved office worker, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers his flat is haunted by Lucy, a lively ghost with a big personality and a heartbreaking secret. What unfolds is a rollercoaster of laughter, tears, and poignant revelations as Joe, Lucy, and a cast of vibrant characters, like Lily, a resilient teenager, and Holly, a determined coworker, help Lucy find peace while discovering their own capacity for love, forgiveness, and growth.

This project isn’t just a movie, it’s an experience. At its heart, My Roommate Lucy is about human connection: the unexpected friendships we form, the courage to confront our past, and the importance of cherishing the people we hold dear. With a mix of heartfelt drama, sharp comedy, and a touch of paranormal magic, this film has the potential to resonate with audiences of all ages.
