Description

Zel is a fortune teller. She lives and works in an old house at the edge of the woods. The house is crowded with ghosts that have been there for as long as she can remember, including a priest, a bride, a mute child, some washed up vaudvillians and a noisy, sight-impaired group of musicians (Califone) among others. When a mysterious light appears in the woods the ghosts realize that they are trapped and begin to rebel. Zel is forced to come to terms with the origins of these spirits and letting go of the only family she has ever known. Califone provide the interactive, live soundtrack for this special presentation of bandleader Tim Rutili's debut feature-length film All My Friends Are Funeral Singers. Like the seemingly benevolent ghosts inhabiting a rickety house in the film, Rutili and his bandmates inhabit two worlds for this program: on the silver screen and on the theater stage. Starring Angela Bettis, Directed by Tim Rutili.
