Filmmaker Shade Rupe has contributed a short to the “ABC’s of Death” contest, and he has garnered some impressive props from Clive Barker.

That was an elegantly shot, sharply edited and strongly conceived and directed four minutes of film-making. Colour me impressed. You managed to imply a whole range of character options for us, from which entirely plausible narrative solutions spilled. Very fine, courageous work from you and your actors. I hit the heart to say I’d been there. I hope it helps and i will certainly make sure my guys do the same.

If you like the short, click and vote for Rupe to be selected as the 26th director in the series.
