Dispatch - a Fat Monster film

it was a human instinct... that she made the call... but then she realized it and said nothing and threw the phone away... I really like that.

I liked it for the same reason, but some people need more of a reason. Such as... making her iris lose color when she decides to hang the phone back up. This would hint at something about her that is inhuman at that moment.

I loved that moment because it harkens back to the base instincts of any human in trouble and tells of such a deep history for the character. Like I said before: people always think of vampires as monsters, but they forget that they were HUMANS first. We have no idea how long this woman has been a vampire. She could have only been a vampire for 2 years or 2 weeks and still has to deal with 20+ years of human training. When in trouble of a mortal kind you bloody well call 911. It's ingrained in our heads. That says a LOT about the development and growth of the character and that she's not just a paper cut out: she's a real person... and she was sorry for biting Dave.

But how do you know SHE bit Dave? Maybe... just maybe, the couple was trying to stake a vamp and it went bad. The unknown Vamp bit Dave and pulled a ninja move pushing the stake into the wife. Blood was mixed in the skuffle....

This is were the story begins for us!

That is exactly what I got from the short! Well maybe not, but it is a fun alternate tale.

... and the Vamp was actually the couples son, conspicuously missing from the family photo in the opening of the film because of his 'bad seed' status.....

Hey Guys,
I'm home from a short weekend vacation. Will be posting stuff regarding the film here shortly.

A lot of people have been inquiring as to who the actors were, etc:

Here is a rough Cast/Crew List:

Directer: Oliver Noble - DP: Sam Falconi - Sound: Anyone who was free - Makeup Marina Mestaz - Gaffer: Ben Krutcher - Grips: Any friends that were hanging around at the moment - Vampire Girl: Rochelle Valles - Husband: David Lloyd Wilson - Cop: Tim Abell.

I met Rochelle and David on a webseries I was working on about a year ago. I met Tim through various friends and other projects. All three were awesome to work with, had no egos and just really did an excellent job. I can't say enough about everyone who pitched in.
