Short Film: Ode to the Night
Directed by John H. Shelton, this short film comes in around the 4.5-minute mark and was released in 2017. The filming is more a mood piece to go with the poem written and narrated by Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc.
As well as showing footage of a wolf, it follows David (Dylan Knight) as he visits a grave and two vampires (Patsy Buck & Marie Wagstaffe) stalk and eventually prey upon him.
The filming style, on first view, suffers from the day-for-night filtered technique as it is obviously day. However, as you realise that this may be a dream (or reality, or a fantasy that explains a vampiric attack) the day-for-night becomes unimportant as in dreams all things are possible, of course. The mood, despite the transparency of the technique, works well with the poem.
