Special Episode: Sundance 2022- Blood director Bradley Rust Gray and cinematographer Eric Lin

The film Blood is about Chloe, a woman who travels to Japan for her
work as a photographer, just a couple of years after the death of
her husband. She meets up with her Japanese friend Toshi who is
interested in turning their friendship into a relationship, and she
needs to decide if she is ready to welcome romantic love back into
her life. Blood is a quiet and contemplative movie about human
relationships, and unfolds slowly through Chloe's conversations,
interactions and dreams. Director Bradley Rust Gray and
cinematographer Eric Lin had worked together before on Brad's film,
The Exploding Girl. A lot of Blood was improvised, and Brad used
the script mainly as an outline short of a few scenes needed for
exposition. They found opportunities to weave in the dreams Chloe
has about her past with her husband in Iceland. Eric and Brad
wanted everything to feel very naturalistic, as if the camera is
eavesdropping. Eric chose to shoot much of it on very long lenses,
as though shooting a nature documentary. They wanted Blood to feel
like the audience is present with Chloe the whole time, peering in
on moments in her life. Blood premiered at the Sundance 2022 Film
Festival and was the Special Jury Award winner for Uncompromising
Artistic Vision. Blood is seeking sales and distribution. Find
