Abstract
Logline: Eli, an overweight guy in his 20’s, is dealing with the death of his best friend and trying to get in shape. But after several failed attempts to run and eat healthier, he is haunted by a supernatural figure.
Synopsis: Eli is an overweight guy in his 20’s who is dealing with the death of Brian, his best friend and running partner, all while struggling to make the healthy choices in Brian’s absence. While his other best friend, Sarah, continually tries to be there for Eli, he pushes her away each time. At the same time, supernatural events start taking place around Eli, causing him to question not only his own sanity but death itself. However, after it is finally revealed that a supernatural monster really is after Eli and chases him to Sarah’s place of work, Eli discovers that the monster was actually the ghost of his dead best friend all along, trying to scare him in the right direction. After that, Eli and Sarah reconnect and go on a run for the first time since Brian’s death.
