Overview
"Built upon the premise of the regional gothic, LONG ISLAND GOTHIC is a gothic horror feature. The slow-burn horror takes regional specificity under its wing and transforms it into the macabre in a story about knowing when it's time to go and choosing what is worth sacrificing for. It features a twenty-six-year-old WALTER KHAH, a sculpture artist who comes back home to suburban Long Island after running away from his problems in the city and catapults himself head-first into a new project—fixing the old witch statue at the local farm. As the lines between dreams and reality blur, Walt is confronted with having to choose between surface success and real success. LONG ISLAND GOTHIC is the tale of one town and one man discovering that quitting is often the bravest thing to do." -- Abstract
