Storyline
A director struggles to write his script because his roommates are too loud. To get peace, he invents a story about a ghostly actress haunting their home, but a spirit resembling Marilyn Monroe actually appears. Instead of helping, the ghost distracts him even more, ruining his focus and his chance to finish his script.
“A ghostly starlet haunts a writer's noisy home.”
