A Judas goat is trained to associate with sheep or cattle - leading them to a slaughterhouse, while its own life is spared.

'Judas Goat' is an 30min MFA graduation film (Edinburgh - Screen Academy Scotland) and webseries pilot by director Pavel Szczepaniak. It will be shot in September 2012.

The story takes place in a stylised vision of contemporary Edinburgh, where modern vibrance meets the moldy decadence of the Old World.

We introduce the world through the eyes of the 'Judas Goat', a man luring victims to their deaths at the fangs of his master. Hopelessly addicted to vampire blood, he gets caught in a treacherous romance amidst the deadly manipulations of the undead.

'We want to put the spotlight on the monsters and make a Personal Drama in a Horror setting. Inspired by the likes of True Blood, Let the Right One In and the work of Guillermo del Toro, we want to show struggling anti-heroes, their desires and the deadly politics of a secret society.

Making the pilot as high-quality as possible is our priority task.' Pavel Szczepaniak
