PRODUCTION NOTES: This was the first movie I shot after moving to Los Angeles. It was intriguing to me to shoot a silent movie because I had never done it before and I was interested in telling the story primarily through images and expressions. The time period is up for grabs: it is a hybrid of contemporary and turn-of-the-century, which is all the more interesting to me. I was also interested in combining eerie elements with some erotic ones. The vampire motif was the perfect vehicle for that.
