Nero Bloom: Private Eye

Please enjoy the above preview trailer (listed first) and also an excerpt from the film.

Winner of Best Student Feature at a prestigious Hollywood festival in 2009, “Nero Bloom: Private Eye” was a smashing success among critics and fans alike. Created on a shoestring budget by two undergrad students, this 45-minute feature film sets the bar for true independent cinema. With a cast and crew of over 100 volunteers, 23 filming locations, and over 6 months of principle photography, “Nero Bloom” is a rousing example of cinematic storytelling.

When young private eye Nero Bloom is hired to follow a down-and-out gambler, everything seems business as usual. But when the gambler winds up dead in a hotel elevator, the game is on and Nero is a suspect. With action, suspense, and seduction…Nero must travel a labyrinth of clues to reach one twisted ending.

Critical response:

“There isn’t an element of the film that hits a false note. It is perfectly pitched.” – Catherine Lee (Whatzup Magazine)

“Nothing short of astonishing!” – Steve Penhollow (The Journal Gazette)

“I have made films for 30 years, and I screened ‘Nero Bloom’ myself. I thought it was brilliantly shot. I loved the black and white, and I thought the art direction was exquisite.” – Suzanne DeLaurentiis (award-winning film producer)
