Take the photograph

After the turmoil of the Civil War, grieving families sought spiritual connection to their departed. Certain clairvoyants claimed the ability to photograph the dead.

Things Visible and Invisible is a proof of concept short film produced by Coronation in their home town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It garnered local interest and was featured in ten film festivals both nationally and internationally.
