Coming in at just over 11-minutes, this is a short comedy directed by Dan Allen and released in 2016.
It starts in a coffee shop, where Lizzy (Sharon Singh) is breaking up with Alex (Thomas Wingfield), or confirming the breakup at the very least. He thanks her for their time together but accidentally knocks her coffee over, across her lap. As he goes to the counter to get napkins, he thinks to himself that it had felt great and kind of wishes it had been done purposely. He has brought her toothbrush and secretly wishes he had tainted it…

| Thomas Wingfield as Alex |
Whilst we see clips from Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, Alex muses that he wants to be the villain. He is watching the classic film on a tablet and suggests to his friend David (Charlie Field) that he wants to be a vampire. David, confused and likely long-suffering, mentions needing to be bitten – Alex decides he can find what he needs on the dark web.

Indeed, he does find vampire pills for sale and so orders them. Once taken he makes a choice of who he is going to hunt – white van drivers… Could there be a more deserving section of modern living? Is he actually now a vampire… watching the short will reveal all. The film was genuinely funny and this was down to the Alex character – both in the writing and the performance. Worth a watch.
