Director Statement

This my first foray into horror and its based on a real life experience of needing money so badly that I went to a facility to sell my plasma, and they gave me 75 bucks for it, which let me fill up my car with gas. But in the process I thought I was going to die because they had the settings turned up pretty high, and I nearly blacked out. I really felt like I was going to bleed out. It was such a bizarre experience sitting there, and everyone else treating it like a normal thing. Selling your life for money. Trading life force for cash...That's the tone and inspiration for the style and story of Blood Money.
