A medieval fantasy short film spun around a feudal family’s warlord known as “The Sanguine”. Peace is disturbed by a messenger with tell of something fallen from the sky that wipes out warring armies and has a twisting effect on all souls in the province. The messenger is told to investigate and bring whatever can be found, but no one dares… except The Sanguine.
Patrick McNerney and Daniel Jones have been collaborating partners in music, film, and other creative projects for many years, culminating in this debut film release under their own banner.
The Sanguine is currently on the international film festival circuit and has begun earning official selections and laurels.

A crestfallen master and outcast servant rob the grave of a long-dead warlord, only to discover he has returned to defend it.

After collaborating on numerous music, television, and film projects, Daniel and I set out to create a short film entirely of our own—one driven by atmosphere, momentum, and story, with no wasted moments.
The Sanguine is a dark medieval fantasy-horror that uses allegory to explore fear, division, and the consequences of a society turning on itself. While rooted in genre and period, the themes are intentionally timeless.
The film was produced independently with virtually no financial resources, relying on in-house visual effects, practical production design, and an original classical score created specifically for the project. Building the film entirely in-house allowed us full creative control from concept through final cut.
We hope audiences experience the film as a journey—one that lingers beyond its final frame.
