I’ve long been fascinated by the topography of Burkittsville, Maryland, a small historic community that rests at the eastern edge of South Mountain. The very first time I hiked the Appalachian Trail in Maryland was years ago during a visit to Gathland State Park, which is located on the ridge of South Mountain directly above Burkittsville.

Burkittsville, Maryland, became famous (or infamous, if you prefer) with the release of the film, The Blair Witch Project. As might be expected, the citizens of Burkittsville experienced a sudden uptick in tourism as a result of the curiosity stirred by the storyline of the film.

But as is usually the case, the “real” history of a place is often far more interesting than its commercially-generated myths.

There is an odd and unsettling atmosphere that surrounds Burkittsville. I have personally sensed it when I’ve visited the village. I’ve also experienced it in the woods along the Appalachian Trail while hiking in the vicinity of Burkittsville.

I don’t think that witches have anything to do with the experience I’ve sensed. I think it has something to do with the tremendous loss of life among Union and Confederate soldiers who died during the Battle of South Mountain near Compton Gap (located at Gathland State park), a bloody prelude to the Battle of Antietam.

I hope you enjoy the debut of my first Intertitle Pictures production, The Road To Burkittsville, Maryland Via Boston.

All films produced under the Intertitle Pictures imprint will also be posted along with my Evil Digital Films at Black Cat Bone Theatre.

I hope to see you at the movies!
