I'd been going back and forth with Mz. Nataraj on the concept of the short story "Narcissist", which will be the first part in "House of Limbo"  -originally to be shot in January but while visiting friends I discovered this alternate realm, known as San Gregorio, far from the city.  The character came alive to me there in all of her emptiness and tragedy, so I had to follow her.

 

We shot half of it in a beautiful, old, sinking farm house.  It was the stage coach hotel in the 1900's.  There is, in fact, a ghost of a little girl said to inhabit the place and this, I thought, would add to the atmosphere.  I was looking forward to her presence spooking my comrades but unfortunately, I was the only one spooked. 

 

My only regret is we were not able to stay longer.  There were so many more things I would have liked to have captured.

Pictured here are the players:  Daniel Roberts and Nirmala Nataraj -performing a "flashback" on the cliffs of San Gregorio.

Jane Orr performs spoken word for the piece and has also provided us with these great stills.
