Ever since the sudden death of her husband last year, CYLLA (30s) has been determined to sell her house. Finally, the showing is today. It should be easy — the house is almost as perfect-looking as she is. Sunny windows, manicured lawn, full of potential. But Cylla seems to be having some difficulty. Doors stick. Art slides off walls. The bathroom threatens to suffocate her. People excuse her behavior as grief, anxiety, privilege. But as the day unfolds, we begin to see what they can't: how her past life still haunts the present. This is a ghost story about how a controlling relationship can long survive the abuser, leaving the survivor trapped even after she's 'free'.
"Ghost Listing" uses the grammar of horror - creeping dread, flickering shadows, a protagonist wavering on the edge between truth and madness - to tell a story that is rarely told in these terms: the story of what happens after. Most narratives about domestic abuse end at the moment of escape, as though leaving is the conclusion. This film begins there. Fear, paranoia, the sense that something is present that no one else can see - these are not metaphors for the survivor experience, they are the survivor experience, rendered literally. The horror genre has always understood gaslighting viscerally: the woman who perceives something real but is dismissed, disbelieved, told she is imagining it. Here, that dynamic is not a plot device - it is the point.
The film is written by Remy Solomon and directed by Rose Beth Johnson-Brown, with an all-female creative team including producer Amber Neukum of Juicebox Films (Ragamuffin) and casting director Jane Flowers. We shoot May 2026 on a single location over three days.
Upon completion, "Ghost Listing" will be submitted to major short film festivals domestically and internationally, with a focus on the horror shorts circuit. The film has meaningful built-in visibility: writer Remy Solomon has a combined social following of over 100k across Instagram and TikTok. "Ghost Listing" is a small film with, we believe, an outsized ability to connect.
