Day of the Dead

(Drama) Running Time: 66m24s
Written and Produced by Frederick Greenhalgh

A tale inspired by the myth of Orpheus. A young man heads to New Orleans in search of his missing lover, and finds something he never expected: himself.

This was my senior thesis for my BA, and I have a site with essays on New Orleans, radio drama, and the myth or Orpheus to complement Day of the Dead.
