Zelda Graves is a vengeful teenage Ghost Hunter whose foolish actions lead her to get cursed by a powerful, Native spirit. Her curse? “Live to die another day, the Hunter is now the Prey.” Her body lies in a coma while her spirit is damned to wander the earth as the thing she hates most of all: a ghost.
In the end, Zelda must turn to only person who is willing to help her: her legal guardian, Maria Sanchez. With the help of an ex-sorcerer, a rival ghost hunter, and a gifted student who is prone to being kidnapped they embark on an epic adventure to resurrect Zelda and lay Maria’s own ghosts to rest.

Production Notes:
Filming began in May, 2004. Over twenty-five actors between the ages of 18 and 30, some in college, others recently graduated, participated in the production of Eidolon. Scattered across the state with home towns such as Lake Bluff, Pekin, Sherman, Champaign-Urbana, Carbondale, and Saint Louis, the actors traveled as much as five or six hours to film on weekends that consisted of lots of work and little sleep.
Major filming locations included houses in Champaign, the beaches near Lake Bluff, and the caves at Goreville. Due to time constraints and school and work schedules resulted in the cast and crew only being able to film once a month. The cast, however, is formed of very talented and devoted actors who simply want to participate in an exciting opportunity to be a part of producing a 12 episode mini-series. From the beginning the project has been a collaboration of multiple individuals who have the common vision of creating an enduring and exciting opportunity to express their creativity.
