From the director of the Watchmen short Black Freighter
Almost daily, we’re hit with e-mails pointing us to various short films. Some are good. Some are bad. The Horror Short Stop will direct you only to the cream of the crop.
Today, we have the trailer for Other, directed by Daniel DelPurgatorio. A free screening of the short film is being held Thursday, December 15, 2011 at The Den Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis.
Synopsis: Patrick is a brilliant doctor, in an obsessive race to alter his own grim prognosis. During a series of unconventional experiments, he discovers a scientific loophole unlike anything he had ever imagined. In pursuit of this dark prize, Patrick will risk everything to ensure he sees his experiment to the end…even if it means accepting the sinister results.
DelPurgatorio was one of the directors on Tales of the Black Freighter, the animated short film that was a tie-in with Zack Snyder’s Watchmen (it was a story threaded through the graphic novel).
