Loved by Ghosts

Loved by Ghosts is an animated documentary exploring some of the key events of the last two decades.

Written and Directed by Ian Connolly (Promises Project) and Produced by Drum Monkey Media, the film was made over several years. It explores key global events spanning the last two decades and their impact (ultimately) on all of us. It began with questions, many of them unanswerable and over the course of a few years the questions evolved into a body of work which became 'Loved by Ghosts'.

With it's heartfelt observations of a world that seems engulfed in turmoil, it pieces together stories of how in recent years the world has become a (sometimes) more fractured and frightening place. Whether it's the erosion of democracies, being engulfed by conflict or threatened by pandemic, it's easy for any of us to forget about, judge or ignore from afar. Deep down whatever our backgrounds, motivations and actions, we are all the same.

Loved by Ghosts explores how lives can dramatically change in an instant. We all share a common Bloodline. We are all human. #WhatWouldYouDo, that is the question we all need to answer.

Dedicated to the millions of journeys we can never comprehend.
