September, 1998.  The millennium approaches.

A conspiracy theory movie like no other, straight from the mind of a true crime and unsolved mysteries junkie. Here's a short film about what might have happened to some of those missing people. Drawing inspiration from The Twilight Zone, Behold a Pale Horse, and legends of the Mojave Desert, Erzsabet and the Mystery of Iniquity is a dreamy sci-fi/horror short film based on the very real-life frenzy surrounded Y2K and the Mojave Phone Booth, rediscovered by Deuce of Clubs in 1997. The title character and her friends experience time-slips, time travel, and secret societies in this nostalgic period piece from Cole Webb Harter.
