"You city boys - unbelievable." Would you like some wine with your short film? Check out this Edgar Allen Poe-inspired, "Gothic suspense thriller" short titled Bricks, about a wealthy stockbroker who hires a rough builder to renovate the wine cellar underneath his country house. In the shadowy cellar they find common ground at first, but then they'll have a falling out with chilling consequences. Not to be confused with Rian Johnson's directorial debut Brick, this film is a tense thriller about wealth, wine and the art of bricklaying. Bricks stars Jason Flemyng and Blake Ritson, directed by Neville Pierce. I dig all the uneasy tension in these two performances, this is such a nice thriller that allows the actors to play with the audience. Enjoy.
Short synopsis from Vimeo: "When a wealthy stockbroker hires a rough builder to renovate the wine cellar underneath his country house, the two men fall out with chilling consequences." Described by David Fincher as "a morbid yet classy take on a morbid classic." And described by Scott Frank as "Beautiful. Deliberate and creepy as hell." Bricks is directed by Neville Pierce (follow him @nevpierce), written by Jamie Russell & Neville Pierce, produced by Savannah James-Bayly, edited by Jim Page, featuring an original score by David Julyan.
