Jeff Meyers’ short film THE BLOOD OF LOVE was the winner of “Best Film” at the WILDsound FEEDBACK Film Festival’s Best of Horror/Thriller event.

Watch the Audience FEEDBACK for THE BLOOD OF LOVE:

I recently interviewed Jeff Meyers about his short film and being in attendance at the Festival in October.

Matthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?

Jeff Meyers: Two things, really. First, I was inspired by the O. Henry short story “The Gift Of The Magi,” though it might not be wholly evident to some. I am drawn to stories that have a dark sense of irony. The other was that I am very interested in pushing genre conventions beyond what is expected. While “The Blood Of Love” certainly has horror elements, I wouldn’t quite call it a horror. There are (hopefully) strong elements of romance and drama.

From the idea to the finished product, how…

Daniel Reimer’s short film BELL TOWER ENIGMA played at the best of Horror WILDsound FEEDBACK Film Festival in October 2015.

Watch the Audience FEEDBACK of BELL TOWER ENIGMA:

I recently sat down with Daniel Reimer to talk to him about his short film.

Matthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?

Daniel: Bell Tower Enigma was one of the graduation films from the Filmmaking Diploma of the London Film Academy. We were able to pitch for various scripts written by the students. I loved the idea of Bell Tower Enigma as it reminded me of Hitchcock and Lynch. I’m very much drawn to mystery and the surreal in film.

From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?

We had about 2 months of pre-production, we shot for about a week and finally another month for post-production.

How would you…

I had heard rumors the feedback was genuine, and it did NOT disappoint. It helped me get to what you are about to watch and enjoy!
– Marc W Johnson (Legacy, Feature Film)

I always thought that once a film is finished (or abandoned, as someone said once…), it no longer belongs to the filmmakers – it belongs to the audience. This festival is the perfect illustration of that. I very much appreciate the fact that your audience took the time to watch MEDIATION in the first place, and then chose to stay after the screening to discuss it. As a writer-director, I couldn’t ask for more – if there is an audience…
