David misses his ring-necked dove. It was his pet, his solace, and to remember the little creature he loved, he insists on adding its ashes to ink for a memorial tattoo. As the bird’s empty cage looms in his apartment and he goes about his daily work as a music engineer, the tattoo becomes infected. Avoiding the comfort of his girlfriend for weeks, his grief will soon take over his body in the most unusual way. Vasili Manikas takes a personal nightmare to create the moving and terrifying body-horror film RING NECK, with a compelling performance by Antoine Olivier Pilon and effects by Emmy-Award winner Colin Penman. – Carolyn Mauricette
