Jake is a skeptic, who belongs to a ghost hunting group. Admittedly a pretty good concept for a short Halloween piece. He provides some good insight into life and death, and does so with an engaging wry wit. I suspect many who hear the first minute or two of the piece might be a little disappointed as they will not get first hand insight into what haunts a graveyard , however, if they stick with it, they will likely smile and nod appreciatingly at Jakes observations.
This should make nice short filler for the week of Halloween, when all of us begin contemplating this world and the next.
A short trip to the cemetery looking for paranormal evidence allows producer Jake Warga to explore themes of mortality and graveside decoration. Light fare for the Hallowe'en season.
Jake is honest and skeptical. the piece isn't about the presence or absence of ghosts or spirits, focusing rather on a few aspects of the realities of death: its inevitability, ubiquity, and peculiar effects upon the living.
You ever wonder who belongs to a ghost hunting group? Wonder no more. This whimsical meanderation through a cemetery is a good pick for adults around Halloween time. Not scary, ruminative, amusing. Warga writes well for the air. This is an enjoyable 4- minute foray and good drop-in before the big boo night.
