The Director's Corpse
“Some people never leave the set...”
A young journalist investigates a film student's claim that the corpse of a 125-year-old director continues to direct the crew on set, and gradually uncovers evidence that casts doubt not only on the student's sanity but also on the veracity of the story itself.
