Synopsis
My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) is a military dramedy you can watch online on iFILM, the feature debut of writer-director Kyle Hausmann-Stokes. U.S. Army vet Merit is back from Afghanistan, but her dead friend Zoe follows her everywhere — and only Merit can see her.
Merit goes through the motions at a veterans' support group, insisting she's fine. Things shift when her grandfather Dale, a retired lieutenant colonel carrying his own war, is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and she moves in as his caregiver. Sonequa Martin-Green plays Merit, Natalie Morales is the wisecracking ghost of Zoe, with Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman as the grandfather and the group leader.
Hausmann-Stokes served in the Army himself, and it shows — he talks about PTSD and survivor's guilt through humor instead of sermons, which is exactly what the tagline "Grief can be a funny thing" promises. The film picked up audience awards on the festival circuit. Stream My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) online on iFILM.
