A View From a Forgotten Grave is a short horror / art / experimental film that is admittedly not so much a "real" film as it is more of an exercise in b-roll and atmosphere. Give a bored filmmaker a forgotten cemetery, a little bit of snow, and and hour or two and this is what you get. Sure, it's a little bizarre, ridiculous, and out there, but it is what it is. The locations seen throughout the film comprise the ruins of the Eden Hall cemetery in Philadelphia, PA. The cemetery, established in the 1800s for nuns of the Convent of the Sacred Heart, was ultimately abandoned in the 1970s and its residents relocated. But there's more... The great Italian actor Franco Garofalo -- from such Italian cult classics as Hell of the Living Dead, The Other Hell, and my personal favorite Bruno Mattei flick, The True Story of the Nun of Monza -- was posthumously included via archive footage from a 2015 The World of Shadows voiceover session. Permission to use the footage was given by his daughter who noted that Franco “would be more than happy if you use that clip for your next film.” While it's certainly not going to win an Oscar, this short work is dedicated to the memory of the unforgettable and legendary Franco Garofalo!
