LOGLINE

When Mia finds herself at her own wake, dead but not quite gone, she must uncover what’s keeping her tethered and what it truly means to let go.

SYNOPSIS

At Mia’s wake, her sister Jess struggles to keep everything in order while their friends and family navigate grief in their own chaotic ways. But when Mia herself suddenly reappears, she realizes she isn’t just back for herself; she’s back for them. While some can see her and others remain oblivious, Mia becomes a catalyst for unfinished business: confronting her ex Dani’s unresolved love, helping Jess release guilt over missed calls and misplaced mourning, and even standing up to her overbearing boss Caroline, who refuses to acknowledge her death.

As Mia forces her loved ones to face what they’ve been avoiding, she slowly begins to fade—her purpose seemingly fulfilled. But in the end, she isn’t alone. Her friends and family, now a little lighter and a little wiser, gather around her, offering comfort as she prepares for her final goodbye. In death, Mia not only finds closure for herself but grants it to those she leaves behind.

**Somewhere between Here and There” is a story about the emotional weight we carry—how love, regret, and unresolved connections shape us, even beyond death. I was drawn to this project not only because of its unique, supernatural premise but because of the deeply personal and universally relatable themes it explores.**
