Blood Tea and Red String is a stop-motion-animated
feature film, called by director Christiane Cegavske a
"fairy tale for adults". It was released on February 2,
2006 after a production time of 13 years, having been
filmed in various places in the West Coast and in two
studios. The musical score was composed and performed by
Mark Growden.
Cegavske says in the audio commentary to the DVD for
this film that it is to be the first in a trilogy.
Brett D. Rogers of Frames Per Second magazine praised
Blood Tea, calling it "exquisitely realized ... an
antidote to modern digital precision and diluted
creativity." The same review highlighted Mark Growden''s
score as suiting the film perfectly, "[w]rapping Blood
Tea''s intricate scenery and its characters'' wordless
dialect in a lingering, haunting layer of spectral
sound."
