Zbarsky) Independent filmmakers have been getting creative for years, especially when it comes to getting their movies in front of the right people. Izzy Roland and family (literally) are just the next in a long line to work the ever-changing system for themselves. Roland, best known for her appearances on the comedy streaming service Dropout, wrote and stars in the new film “D(e)ad.” The film follows a young woman named Tillie (Roland) whose recently-deceased estranged father begins haunting every member of Tillie’s family via mirror – except Tillie, that is.
