In this bonus episode, Zena sits down with director Andrew Bell to talk about his haunting directorial debut, BLEEDING, which is now available on SCREAMBOX! Using vampire mythology as a lens, BLEEDING dives deep into the emotional and social fallout of America’s opioid crisis. The film follows Eric, a 17-year-old grieving the overdose death of his brother. When his cousin Sean is drawn into a dangerous underground world of using and selling blood, Eric is forced to confront addiction, family trauma, and the cost of trying to save someone who might not want to be saved.  This inspiring conversation touches on:  The personal and societal themes behind BLEEDING. How Andrew turned his 2019 Columbia thesis into a full-length feature.  The power of horror to explore real-world trauma. Why BLEEDING feels more relevant than ever. Don’t miss this raw and revealing discussion about the film, its origins, and what Andrew hopes viewers take away from his story!
