"It’s hard to weave contemporary social issues into truly theatrical storytelling, but [People of Interest], has done that beautifully with “Campo Maldito,” a comic ghost story with a conscience. Written by Bennett Fisher and directed by Jesca Prudencio, it’s set in the gentrifying Tenderloin district of San Francisco, where a young white tech entrepreneur (Walker Hare, excellent) calls on a Latino Santeria priest (Luis Vega, ditto) to rid his office of a spirit." - The New York Times "Enthralling" - San Francisco Examiner "A seriously spooky ghost story about gentrification and addiction... Creepy and compelling." - KQED |
