About Gravehunting With Steve:
This video was originally produced in 2009 and was shown at Indie Fest USA at Downtown Disney, Anaheim, California, the High Desert Shorts International Film Festival in Pahrump, Nevada, and elsewhere.
At that time, the file size and length were too much for upload to YouTube, and only a short trailer was posted to the channel of director Ken Goldstein ("kenrg"). For more than a decade, the video was only available by purchasing the DVD. Now, at long last, the full video is available to all, for free, on YouTube... and here.
Original DVD Box Blurb:
"In Hollywood, the dead are the only permanent residents."
Join author and grave hunter Steve Goldstein as we dig up 100 years of Hollywood history through extensive tours of Hollywood Forever, Hillside Memorial Park, and Holy Cross cemeteries, including the gravesites and stories of Al Jolson, Aaron Spelling, Cecil B. De Mille, Griffith J. Griffith, John Huston, Rudolph Valentino, Moe Howard, Dee Dee Ramone, Meyer "Mickey" Cohen, Eddie and Toni Mannix, Jack Benny, Bela Lugosi, John Candy, Sharon Tate, and dozens more.
A charter member of the Hollywood Underground - an organization of grave hunters and dead celebrity stalkers who meet regularly in the crypts of Los Angeles to compare notes, and compete to be the first to photograph the latest celebrity grave - Steve explores his background and what lead him to enjoy a hobby others might find morbid.
As the author of "L.A.'s Graveside Companion: Where the V.I.P.s R.I.P." and curator of beneathlosangeles.com, Steve's stories entertain as well as educate about Hollywood's history and the private lives of the famous, the infamous, and the just plain dead.
Accepted for Competition at High Desert Shorts International Film Festival IV, Pahrump, Nevada. Screening Saturday, November 6, 2009.
Official Selection of the 2009 INDIE FEST USA at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California.
