This gothic horror short was shot entirely on 8mm film, using a Revere Eye-Matic CA5 wind-up camera from 1958. I purchased the camera and then devised this short as a means of testing it. This meant that for the entire shoot, which lasted one full day, we were unsure if we were even capturing any images.
