Once Haunted is a multi-venue series examining the idea of haunting, both as a multifaceted trope of desire, physical ruins, loss, and social change, as well as a citation from specific genres of horror and surrealism.

Shiplap (2019, NR, 6 min 52 sec), dir. Eva Hageman
Shiplap is a videographic essay that Hageman completed as part of a workshop she participated in at Middlebury College in summer 2019. Videographic criticism is a mode of analysis that uses video as its prime method of engagement. Hageman’s videographic essay shiplap comes out of her research for her book manuscript on the narrative functions of race and the concept of ‘relatability’ in reality television development, especially in lifestyle programming (such as the HGTV shows House Hunters, Fixer Upper, and Home Town).

Eva Hageman's video essay Voice-over (2019) examines what lies beneath HGTV's House Hunters.​
