Goodnight, Moon is a raw exploration of grief, memory, and the struggle to let go. Written and directed by Michael Patten with co-writer Jacob Kaplan, this deeply personal film was shaped by their real-life experiences with loss. Featuring a powerful, honest performance by Kris Avedisian alongside Delphi Harrington, the film blurs the line between life and death, weaving dark humor into a tender portrait of mourning.

Shot on 16mm by cinematographer Sharif El Neklawy, Goodnight, Moon carries a moody elegance that elevates its emotional weight.

In our exclusive interview, Patten reflects on the film’s long evolution, the unexpected resonance of personal loss, and how a story about trespassing and séances became a deeply cathartic journey.
