About

This project is a visceral exploration of the Booth theatrical dynasty, reimagining Edwin Booth’s historic 100-night run of Hamlet as a supernatural reckoning. By pitting Edwin against the limelight ghost of his father, the film examines the heavy burden of legacy and the psychological battle to forge an identity separate from a family defined by genius and infamy.
