Empty Houses imagines Leerone as the sole attendee at an old woman's funeral. Courtesy of Friedmann and his animated sorcery, viewers are transported away from the graveyard through the spirit-haunted halls of the deceased woman's mansion, where Leerone glimpses scenes from the woman's tragic life. These playback images prompt Leerone to reflect on her own life. Eerie, picturesque, and gorgeously realized, Empty Houses makes a poignant visual statement about fate, life, choices and possibilities.

Conceived by Leerone and produced by LA videographer/animator Hank Friedmann—the same boy genius who oversaw Leerones 2008 video Care For Some Whiskey?—Empty Houses masterfully employs fantasy and gothic sensibilities in support of Leerone and Hank's uncompromising creative ambitions.
