David Lowery (born December 26, 1980) is an American filmmaker, known for directing independent films such as Ain't Them Bodies Saints, A Ghost Story, The Old Man & the Gun, and The Green Knight, as well as mainstream studio productions such as Pete's Dragon and Peter Pan & Wendy.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films like Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives and Cemetery of Splendour approach death and the metaphysical in ways that felt similar to the story I wanted to tell. Those films had a profound impact on me, and I spent a great deal of time thinking about them leading up to the making of A Ghost Story.
