This film was shot after a different film I had in pre-production fell through. Initially I had been working on a very weighty piece about gang violence and wrongful convictions, and when that fell through, I decided I needed a break, and chose to make instead a film entirely about style. The film is a silent black-and-white about a vampire and a detective who is seeking him. It is a throwback to the silent horror era, but with a contemporary cinematographic flare.

It is not currently available for viewing on the Web site because it is on the festival circuit, but stills from the film, as well as a trailer, will be online shortly.

This film was featured in the 2008 Wisconsin Film Festival.
