In the bustling heart of New York City, author and illustrator Adam Ellis has made quite a name for himself. With a substantial following on social media, Ellis is renowned for his unique comics that offer witty insights into the life of a millennial gay man. Notably, he has also lent his artistic talents to BuzzFeed, where he has contributed as a comic artist.
However, what truly catapulted Ellis into the limelight was an unexpected journey that began in August 2017, one that would take him far beyond the realms of his usual artistic creations. This journey led to the creation of the now-famous “Dear David” Twitter thread, a hauntingly captivating tale of supernatural encounters.
“Dear David” started as a series of tweets in which Ellis recounted vivid and eerie dreams about a ghost child with a “huge misshapen head that was dented on one side.” As the thread unfolded, it quickly caught the attention of Twitter users, with many following the story avidly.
The thread was soon compiled into a post on BuzzFeed, where it gained even more traction. It became an internet sensation, captivating readers with its chilling narrative and eerie twists and turns. The story took on a life of its own as readers speculated, theorized, and anxiously awaited each new update.
Fast forward to today, and the “Dear David” Twitter thread has evolved into something even more substantial – a film adaptation. The official synopsis of the movie reads:
“Shortly after comic artist Adam (played by Augustus Prew) responds to internet trolls, he begins experiencing sleep paralysis, all while an empty rocking chair moves in the corner of his apartment. As he chronicles increasingly malevolent occurrences in a series of tweets, Adam begins to believe he is being haunted by the ghost of a dead child named David. Encouraged by his boss to continue the ‘Dear David’ thread, Adam starts to lose his grip on what is online…and what is real.”
This cinematic adaptation of “Dear David” is set to hit theaters, On Demand, and digital platforms on October 13, promising to bring the spine-tingling story to life in a whole new way. It’s a testament to the power of the internet and the way storytelling has evolved in the digital age.
While “Dear David” may be the most haunting tale Ellis has spun, it’s not the only string to his bow. As we eagerly await the film’s release, let’s also take a moment to admire some of this hunky gay artist’s thirst traps – a delightful diversion from the ghostly world of “Dear David.” 😉
In the world of LGBTQ creators, Adam Ellis stands as a testament to the power of artistic expression, storytelling, and the unexpected twists that life can take.
