Tell Tale

2010, 9 minutes

"Tell-Tale" is a Contemporary Film Noir; the story of an erotic game gone wrong.

A police interrogation room. An ice-cold femme fatale (Carla Gugino) and her apparently naïve husband (Adam Arkin) deny the crime they're accused of; the murder of a police informant (Jesse Spencer). The missing informant is her lover, but the affair is more twisted than it first appears and the couple are hiding dark secrets about themselves under the floorboards. Edgar Allen Poe's The Telltale Heart is given a modern-day noir-themed makeover by acclaimed photographer Greg Williams. From a script by Sebastian Gutierrez, Tell Tale is a story of dark secrets and even darker fantasies as the guilt preys on the couple.
