Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, directed by Spike Lee, opens in theaters and on iTunes today, February 13. Big Film Design is proud to have contributed the title sequence and all the visual effects for the new film. DSBOJ marks a 26-year partnership between BFD’s Randy Balsmeyer and Mr. Lee.

The film is a remake of Bill Gunn’s 1973 “Ganja and Hess;” a story of two people who become addicted to blood.

“Da Sweet Blood of Jesus,” Spike Lee’s new film, is a grisly and ghoulish vampire story. It is also an evident labor of love. The opening images – a solitary dancer undulating on the Red Hook waterfront, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and other Kings County spots – offer a reminder that no filmmaker has shot this borough as beautifully and fondly as Mr. Lee.”
