Blood on the Window

A series of meditations on photographs in which the filmmaker tries to grapple with his current psychological and physical state after a serious car accident that left him without a memory of the trauma. 


Blood on the Window is the second installation in the Acetate Diary Tetralogy, a set of four experimental short films short entirely on 16mm film stock. An exploration of the mental and physical repercussions of a traumatic accident, the Acetate Diary Tetralogy (including Blood on the Window, Broken Jaw, the eponymous Acetate Diary, and On Surgery) delves into the fragility of both body and memory.
