This is our first ever short film, created mainly as an entrance film for college. Our budget was almost nothing, our schedule was completely broken, and Aleksej's hands developed frostbite from the fake blood drying in freezing weather. But alas, we made it, and we got accepted (YAY!) so we decided to publish this scuffed piece of media for the world to see. Feel free to ask anything in the comments, and stuff :)
Ok bye!
