This is a short trailer for Mejpye's film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," for which I supplied the narration.

My narrative interpretation of the poem is rather different from various   more...Hollywood attempts at it. I see the poem, not as horror, but as a character study of a man whose terrible grief destroys his sanity. Given his madness, and the unlikelihood of an actual bird performing the deeds attributed to it in the poem, I prefer to conclude that the raven is purely imaginary; a product of a broken mind, a dark fluttering upon the narrator's soul.

The full film is on Mejpye's channel:
