The Deadman

Made in collaboration with Keith Sanborn, The Deadman is based on a story by Bataille, charting "the adventures of a near-naked heroine who sets in motion a scabrous free-from orgy before returning to the house to die — a combination of elegance, raunchy defilement and barbaric splendor." — Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader.

Crew: Dan Goldstein, Griff, Beth Friedman, Antonio Beecroft. Thanks: Peggy Berton, Cathy Cook, Lori Hiris, Stokes Howell, Paul Mann, Rick Pieto. Partially funded by Art Matters Inc.
