Adam wird von seinem Chef ermutigt, den "Dear David"-Thread fortzusetzen, doch Adam verliert allmählich den Überblick über das, was online ist... und was real.

Production

Dear David was based on a Twitter thread created by former BuzzFeed writer Adam Ellis in which he describes his encounter with a ghost. The story was updated between August 7 and December 12, 2017, and went viral online, gaining Ellis over 1 million followers on Twitter. In February 2018, Ellis left BuzzFeed for independent ventures, leaving the story on hiatus.

In July 2020, BuzzFeed Studios and Lionsgate Films announced a partnership to produce and distribute a number of feature films. In November 2021, BuzzFeed and Lionsgate acquired the rights to the story from New Line Cinema and hired John McPhail to direct.

In January 2022, Justin Long, Augustus Prew, and Andrea Bang were confirmed to star.

Production took place in Toronto, Canada, and wrapped in December 2021.

McPhail, in an interview with Screen Rant, stated that practical effects were extensively used to "make everything feel just that little bit more real". One such example is the blood rig on the knife, so it's cutting across and blood would appear.
