About the Film

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.
