Synopsis: Wounded and cornered by a detestable Marshal, an Old Man must decide what his final moments of life will be with the help of an unlikely ally: The Man with Bloody Tears.
Director Statement: “I wanted to make a Western.” That simple fact drove the production of ‘The Man with Bloody Tears’. As a student project and from the eyes of a first time filmmaker, the short film was very much a learning experience. In an attempt to keep the narrative unique and pure, I intentionally chose to mix genres by adding a bit of the supernatural to what began as a grounded Period Drama. Learning to challenge these certain conventions of genre is what I enjoyed the most about my experience with ‘The Man with Bloody Tears’.”
