DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

I made the mistake of releasing the movie as a vampire movie. People have expectations when you mention those creatures of the night. After much soul-searching and re-editing, I found the movie had moved past the genre. It was a film noir that stretched into characters who are dark and looking to taste a bit of other’s souls. My main character is and was a bitch and it is a deep betrayal that makes her less than who she wants to be. Ironically the shooting involved a lot of betrayal. There were people who claimed to be my closet friends and sought later on to destroy the movie and me when it didn’t go the way they thought it should go. Still, I survived and so did the movie. I believe the movie lingers with people and makes them think. I know as far as American movies go, they are just supposed to entertain, but I think and I believe the audience should as well. And of course, one can only talk so much; it is time to turn the lights down low and look up at the screen.
