CHEATING DEATH - A psychological thriller short film

After finding himself in a strange card game with the grim reaper, the Gambler must win to gain his freedom, but as the game goes on he learns who is truly in control of this game...
Cheating Death was the very first short film I ever made, and because of that it it wasn't the best quality but I knew it could use a makeover. This short film has been in the making for nearly a year, and it has taught me so much about the filmmaking process. I hope you guys enjoy, and stay tuned for more narrative short films on the channel!
