Things We Leave Behind
For whom does the bell toll? A man discovers a dreadful secret among his late father's belongings.
Overview
Forty-something Chris (Jonny Phillips) returns to his isolated childhood home after the death of his father. But as he sorts through the old man's things he begins to remember, and more than one bell starts ringing... A tale of grief and longing that swiftly turns into paranoia and dread, writer/director Andrew Brand's short film is moving, uncanny and terrifying.
