    You’re Golfing on Dead People: Secret Cemeteries w/ Courtney Minick
    Oct 30 2024
    Just in time for Halloween, we talk to Here Lies a Story creator Courtney Winick about what lies beneath San Francisco. Namely, lots of dead people. We get into Poltergeist-style burial schemes and what how we treat the dead says about how we treat the living. All very relevant to our movie where the very premise relies upon bodies buried beneath an innocent looking park.
