The Plague Doctor


Short film / 9 min / RED / 2.35:1 / English / March 2011


Over 600 years ago humankind faced the most devastating pandemic throughout history: the Black Death. In a small town in Northern England, one man walks the streets at night - a man they say have the power to cure infected patients - the plague doctor!


After having done a handful of shorts and commercials, The Plague Doctor is by far the most ambitious of my projects so far, being set in very challenging environments production-wise. It was shot over three days, in four different locations.
