Andrew McPhillips’ animated short, Blood Will Tell, is a unique six-minute science fiction horror film set in 16th century Holland. A mysterious visitor who is hopelessly sick attempts to hide from death in a dark, mosquito-infested well. But the darkness can’t hide him for long…blood will tell.

With a background in film and photography, Andrew reproduced the look of early “tin-type" Victorian photographs (like those of Edward Steichen) in the film, using a new animation technique based on the tin-type photographic process. Music by Icelandic band Sigur Ros complements the melancholic, disturbing, and sometimes beautiful images.

The film will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this September.
