Eugen Merher presents a very particular topic in the metaphoric symbolism in terms of a Black vampire, who grows more dependent on human blood than ever before.
Lamar (Jeremiah Waysome) plays the lead of a young teen who records a very heartfelt audio letter to his mother Karissa (Ethosheia Hylton) in the most heartfelt ways possible, If you think this branded short was supposed to be a thriller – the end result will absolutely surprise you.
Filmmaker Ethosheia Hylton is widely known for her directed short ‘Brixton Rock’, which stars Calvin Demba, and is currently directing a new short called ‘In The Silence’ that stars Benny Sarpong.
