Stories With Mark Labella: filming "Nurse The Dead" in a haunted hospital, and more
Mark Labella is the creator of “Nurse the Dead,” a brand new series on iWant. It’s the first Filipino-led scripted series written, created, and filmed in Hollywood, and it follows a Filipina nurse who sees ghosts and works at the most haunted ward in LA. But the ghosts in the series were more than fiction. The series was filmed in a real hospital in Historic Filipinotown that was filled with enough spirits to turn Mark from a skeptic to a believer. In this episode, Mark shares the paranormal activity that broke his cheery 1st Assistant Director, the spirit who blessed the set with her presence, his passion for Filipino representation in entertainment, and how he developed a mutually respectful relationship with the spirits of the hospital.
