WATCH: Greystone Rises From The Ashes In Award-Winning Film

PARSIPPANY, N.J. – The Greystone Psychiatric Hospital turned into rumble in 2015 and 2016, but one local filmmaker made it rise to the ashes in an award-winning film.

“Greystone Rising” by Jody Johnson, a film made using drone footage of the demolition of Greystone and the famous Kirkbride Building was edited to show the videos in reverse as to make it seem like the structures were rising.

The video was such a hit, Johnson won an award in the category of Architecture at the second annual New York City Drone Film Festival.

The nearly five-minute short can be seen on YouTube (and is embedded below) and includes voice-overs outlining how the demolition can be.

Despite protests and proposals from private investors to keep the historic area standing, the state ordered the demolition of the hospital to be cleared for open space use.
