Can one stream this somewhere?

This appears to be a decent version considering it must be from the VHS. There was also a laserdisc.

Very nicely done, camera movement, lighting (of course), and the story, well, it did keep me engaged all the way and will be memorable. I'm surprised it didn't land you more directorial roles.

Did you ever check out the history of the house to see who lived (and maybe died) there in the 1800s?

I did! And the only thing I could find was that a little boy was killed by a streetcar decades ago, but a couple of houses up the street from there. I couldn’t find anything specific to that address.

It’s not the first one … but yes, the second one is a shot of the VHS home video box. I need to finally get the original short film that we shot digitized so that I can put it on the internet!

That would be amazing! Do you know where it is?

Yeah I’ve got some kind of digital video tape of it somewhere in a box in my closet. 😆 I’d have to find a place with the right machine to transfer it to some sort of file that could be uploaded.

Holy Ghost Bro! Wow! My question is why/how does a 23 year old have this story in his head at all? Like where the eff did that come from, do you know? It seems like it was your training. What an incredible story and where can one view a copy of (or purchase) this film?

I recently found a decent upload (from the VHS home video) here:
