Short Film: Fair Prey


Viewed at the 2020 IVFAF, this is a short film directed by Ryan Rosenblum and is listed on IMDb (at time of writing) as 2021, though this is clearly in error. The film comes in at 2.5 minutes and writes a good narrative text for such a short film and does so whilst eschewing dialogue.

A man, Julien (Sam Uehling), wakes by his wife and, as he fiddles with his wedding ring, we can tell he has an itch. Next thing he is driving into the city, he parks and removes the ring before entering a bar.

In the bar we see him meet a woman, Anne (Lexi Simonsen), and we see them flirt and that flirtation become something more solid, before he leaves the bar with her and goes back to hers. This film contrasts predators, with him being a sexual predator, clearly, but her… well it isn’t a spoiler as it states she’s a vampire in the IMDb synopsis.
