Hemingway dies. A camera rolls. Twelve minutes of pure underground cinema madness.
Shot in thirty-two hours at the abandoned Baybridge Theater in Brooklyn, in cinemascope and Eastman color. The film was based on the one-act play of the same name by George Christopoulos, who also commissioned it.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Markopoulos and Christopoulos were romantic partners; this was essentially a love letter disguised as a death notice.
Part of the 1960s New American Cinema revolution, this film was rarely screened and nearly lost—only preserved through Markopoulos's own obsessive archival efforts.
