So when I was younger, I don't know when, or how, I ended up seeing this piece of media. It was, I believe, a short film that kinda creeped me out. I have been unable to find any info on this, but I don't really have anywhere to go. I'm not particularly old, and am pretty young actually, so I don't assume this is lost, but i'm still unable to find it. It is a short film about a painter, specifically who paints portraits of people. I believe these people would take the portrait, but die soon after. At first it was a coincidence, where it just seemed unlucky, but it soon turned into a pattern. The man would make a portrait, and the person he painted would die soon after. The painter stopped making portraits of people, as he felt incredibly guilty about what had transpired. Eventually, I don't know what led to this, but he decided to test it He did a self-portrait, and wanted to see if he would die. I do remember the scene of him painting himself was very dramatic, and when he finishes the painting, he drops dead on the floor from a heart attack. I don't think this is lost, as it was shown somewhat recently, cause i'm a young boy. I just know I saw it, I wouldn't remember this as a dream, and it freaked me out. The memory of it came recently, and quite out of the blue. If anyone can help me it is much appreciated. Thank You!
I know you said it was a short film but i found something very similar on the show beyond belief fact or fiction called the portrait. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQYW7kw_Ah4
The premise sounds a bit like an episode of the Japanese children’s cartoon, Ghost Stories. The series is based on Japanese ghost stories/urban legends, so you might want to check out Japanese/Asian media.
