Violence & Gore

  • No real life violence, but there are several scenes of blood with people cut, stabbed or shown bloodied in the film that Mark is making.
  • For a scene in his short film, Mark Borchardt tries to shove actor Tom Schimmels head through a breakaway cabinet door. However the cabinet doesn't break until after several attempts, leaving Tom with a hurt head. He is not seriously hurt, so the scene is more comedic than frightening.
