In the Blood

Writer/Director

10 mins, short narrative

During a church service, a violent sneeze sends a teenage girl on a nightmarish, gory mission to get a tampon. She is confined to a claustrophobic bathroom stall, which grows bloodier by the minute. Anxiety rises as she faces an internal battle against her own body.
