Gudino's Case Tells Story With Single Image
March 19th, 2008
You’ve heard the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words”, no? Well, filmmaker and former Rue Morgue editor-in-chief Rodrigo Gudino has taken that phrase to the next level with his latest short film “The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow”.
Teaming up with visual artist Vincent Marcone (My Pet Skeleton), Gudino has created an entire narrative that is told through one single image. Is the poster on your right that image? Somehow I doubt it, but we can’t be sure yet.
The official plot goes like this: The visually stunning film centers on an unusual photograph dating back to the 1930s. An investigation of its particulars reveals a tapestry of secrets hidden in the details, and a tale of kidnapping and murder captured in a haunting moment.
A ballsy move, but then Gudino’s never been one to play it safe with either of his previous shorts, “The Eyes of Edward James” and “The Demonolgy of Desire”, so I’m not surprised he’s trying something very new. Hopefully we’ll see the results for ourselves soon enough!

Wonder what a picture of you would tell us in the Dread Central forums!

See the New and Improved WolfmanSince the news first broke so many months ago that Benicio Del Toro would be playing everyone's favorite lycan, The Wolfman, the biggest question has been what he'll look like. Of course we all have faith in Rick Baker, but nowadays you just can't be too sure of anything.
I gotta say, love the poster too!

I love that poster, especially the camera looking like an eye. Great job, can't wait to see this.
