The spring term at RIFS has involved a unique program as students and professionals teamed up and decided to make “BELLEVIEW HOTEL”, the pilot episode of “GRAY AREAS”, a TV anthology series of macabre and entertaining tales, with RIFS producing under the supervision of its director Carl Haber.
Based on the original published short story and collection by Carmen Burcea-Haber, Belleview Hotel tells the story of a very unusual hotel in an odd little town in Italy, and how obsessions with illness and love offer a visitor a very unexpected stay.
