Described as an experimental short film on the production company’s YouTube page, this James Mentzinger directed film was over 9-minutes and uploaded to YouTube in 2019.
Built from memories held by (and moments surrounding) the main character, vampire Mira (Ursula Lopez-Palm), it starts with her and boyfriend Jordan (Mack Velle) in a car at night. We see various moments, non-chronologically, these includes moments in a group support session and also a man talking about pest control – a moment surrounding her as it is unlikely she witnessed that.

"Pest control" amounts to home invasion and Jordan being shot through the back with a stake fired from a crossbow. Mira deals with the invaders more easily than she deals with the loss. The film gives a narrative with little dialogue and also lets us know some lore through moments on screen. Obvious moments such as showing wings appearing, but also we learn that one bite will turn as she bites one of the attackers but then breaks his neck, a common trope.

Another moment is when we see a memory of her and Jordan playfully messing before a mirror, when the camera looks at the mirror she is not reflected but he is. Obviously this tells us that vampires cast no reflection but also that he was not a vampire. The ending offers us a suggestion about both lore and her next planned action also, but I’m not going to spoil it.
At the time of writing I couldn’t find an IMDb page.
