An Envelope in the Wind
An Envelope in the Wind is a haunted-house ghost-story comedy. Estranged sisters Amelia and Julie are reunited when they both inherit the same haunted house… which, minor detail, happens to have a history of murder.
Trapped in this crumbling house miles from anywhere — Amelia is confronted not just by complete amnesia about her entire life, which really complicates family bonding. Soon she begins to wonder if Julie is the devoted sister she claims to be… or just, well, something else. Someone evil?
Disappearing footprints appear on the ground. A mysterious child seems to materialize and vanish at will — and, inconveniently, only reveals herself to Amelia, leaving Julie deeply unsettled. Then, to terrify them both, someone… or something… can be heard stomping across the roof.
An intoxicatingly romantic police officer shows up to investigate “the murder in the house,” sweeping Amelia off her feet — but is soon followed by his sinister twin brother, who insists that the oh-so-romantic brother has been dead for years, and reality flies out the window like an envelope in the wind.
One set. Three actresses. One actor. Zero functioning phones.
