After losing her mother, a young woman finds herself haunted by a strange demon-like creature that refuses to leave her alone.
At first terrifying, then frustrating, and eventually… oddly comforting, the presence begins to mirror the complicated reality of grief itself.
Blending dark comedy, horror, and emotional honesty, Grief Beast is a deeply personal story about loss, survival, and learning to live alongside the things we can’t escape.
Directed by Sarah Tither-Kaplan
Starring Christopher Ross Martin and Sarah Tither-Kaplan

From the filmmaker:
“This film was inspired by my experience losing both of my parents. Over time, grief stopped feeling like a monster chasing me — and became something stranger, heavier, and unexpectedly familiar.”
