About Epilogue
Released in 2012, the six-episode series was a collaborative effort combining the talents of students, faculty and alumni in MJF, electronic arts, music, communication and theatre and dance, under the primary direction of professors Diana Botsford, Dr. Deborah Larson and Colby Jennings.
Synopsis
When a modern worldwide plague becomes resistant to all cures, time-travelers must seek answers in a legendary 14th century rural French village known for its immunity to the original Bubonic Plague.
