I Love Like Blood
2008: Short Film, 5 mins: Director / Writer / Editor
Sarah-Jane, AKA Ms Rouge, recounts her true tale of romantic intrigue in an animated comedy of errors about poetry, stalking, secret-admirers and love. She is elated when she finds an anonymous poem slipped under her door, for at the same time she is wooing a friend with love letters via text message, post and email. Could the stalkee and stalker be the very same person? Utilising a hybrid mix of analogue and digital animation, this mysterious comedy is narrated by Sarah-Jane and her four friends, and accompanied by a comedic soundtrack provided by avant garde rock act – Flamingo Crash.
