Sacred Beast (Short film, 2024)

17 min 1760s period folk horror film based on the Beast of Gevaudan. Premiered in the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, also nominated for best VFX at Los Angeles Fantasy Fest.

I experimented with different kinds of camera kit to create a distinct look, working with anamorphic and vintage lenses. Worked with VFX and created some CGI shots. With night shoots, on location and studio, filming wildlife and acting animals. Shooting in a forest without power. Creating a complex jib shot using a drone, flying a drone in a dense forest. Recreating a different time period and country of 1760s France. Working with actors who must react to non-present CGI.
