Flora from Kansas - "The Ghost is Me"

A haunting tribute to Herk Harvey’s 1962 cult classic Carnival of Souls, the piece embraces a brooding, minimalist aesthetic, employing hypnotic shot compositions and sparse editing to evoke an atmosphere of eerie detachment. Shot on location in the church from the film, all effects were achieved in-camera to channel the original. Flora Kay embodies Mary Henry, a young woman unseen by the world yet determined to be acknowledged. The result is a ghostly, dreamlike meditation about isolation, identity, and the fragile fight to feel alive.
