Apparitions (2024)
Walking around Davenport's historic downtown, you might stop to look at a old building or structure, and get the sudden sense of seeing a ghost from the city's past. Apparitions is a 5-minute film with original music, inspired by this common experience from the creators' walks around Davenport's East End.

The show's star Jack Webb appears in character as detective Joe Friday.
