The story of Racer 37 - Zach Hughes, and the fall of the Death Circus is one told with a level of abstraction and artistry that I've always connected with. Like every great story, the viewer is given a certain amount of freedom to inject their own interpretation of what transpires. Zach's power is never fully understood, his demise never explained.

-

It was here that I wanted to start my own continuation of this story. The psychic force that allows Zach to destroy his opponents ultimately destroys himself, as he races against his own past and future. As he is torn apart, an echo of his soul remains, forever trapped between the final rest of death's slumber and the never-ending desire to win, to keep running.

GHOSTS is a collection of visions, memories and fragments of what remains of the spectre of Zach Hughes. A psychic echo flickering through time, forever haunting the long-abandoned track.

GHOSTS is a tribute to the original animated short "Hashiru Otoko" created by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. This anime had a tremendous impact on me early in life, and was my gateway into other classics such as Vampire Hunter D, Wicked City, and Ninja Scroll. It's with the utmost respect and admiration for Kawajiri-san's inspiring work that I chose to make this film.

A special thanks to my collaborators, and my friends and family for their support in the making of this project.
