In 1999 we borrowed an old SVHS camera from the local College and shot what was to be an intense drama about a man and his journey to becoming a vampire. The results were far from great, but I came across the old, ever ageing tape of the film and decided to convert the project to digital to preserve it. The films features one of my very few staring roles, and also features many of my friends from youth namely David Mills and Jennifer Cooper.
