Just as she’s catching her lucky break in NYC, the coronavirus pandemic dashes Liz’s acting career; ineligible for unemployment, she ekes out a living as a cam girl, and makes video diaries to scratch the creative itch. When her uncle Art Calloway kills himself, he leaves Liz and her brother Charlie the inheritance. After hosting a sparsely populated funeral at the isolated house Upstate, Liz moves in, seeking a change of pace and a quarantine refuge.  

Art was a mysterious man: a singer-songwriter of cult fame who embraced a reclusive lifestyle during his latter years. Liz discovers the journal he kept while making his final (and still unfinished) album - a concept album based on an old local legend from the small town nearby. Through reading the journal, exploring the town and neighboring woods, sifting through his things, and getting to know his friend Ethan, Liz unearths the world and internal struggles of her uncle. She documents her journey, and what started as a curiosity becomes her new sense of purpose. But her sleuthing takes a more sinister turn when Art’s ghostly acquaintances introduce themselves. Compelled to see the project through to the end, however, Liz keeps probing and in hopes of gaining solid answers, she invites the phantoms to make further contact.

Art Calloway’s Final Concept Album is a creepy, slow burn horror-drama about loneliness and grief in times of isolation. It was financed entirely with pandemic unemployment funds and shot during the spring of 2021 by a small, tight-knit group over the course of a grueling, rewarding couple of weeks. It was a passion project for everyone involved. Influenced by everything from Evil Dead to Olivier Assayas and post-modern literature, Art Calloway’s Final Concept Album is funny, scary and deeply felt.
