The Infernum Short Film has premiered. Ted Marcus‘ Infernum (2010) stars David Dayan Fisher, Charlie Hunter, Cat Forrest, and Maria Olsen. Infernum‘s plot synopsis: “A high-stakes drama of redemption and death, set during the chaos and brutality of the medieval Inquisition.” Most of the short films I have seen do not have the quality of this one. Great acting, set up, cinematography, and Infernum even manages to make connection with the viewer during its brief runtime. The camera used seems to be of the feature film grade as well. When The Expected (David Dayan Fisher) is about to die and he looks back at the Attendee (Charlie Hunter) covered in tar is probably the best moment in Infernum. From Ted Marcus

Here’s something you don’t see every day: a short period film.
Writer/director Ted Marcus set out to “reinvigorate the ‘period drama’ into something exciting, concise and relevant” and with his seven minute short Infernum he’s managed to do most of that. I’m not sure I agree that all period dramas are irrelevant or lack excitement but I see his point and his film is pretty fantastic. It’s dark, striking in its visuals and engaging from the opening scene, amust when you only have a few minutes to tell your story.
The film’s done quite well around the festival circuit and is scheduled to play the upcoming Beverly Hills Film Festival but you can see the entire thing below.
Film after the break.
