WE WANT YOUR SOUL...
Sammi (Stuart Brazell) and Rosa (Jade Tailor) are on the run from a vicious vampire cult.
With the metaphysical advertising of "life everlasting", Sammi and Rosa didn't know exactly what they
were getting into and want out....
The leader of the cult, the fearsome Rachel (Erika Smith) does not like deserters. She tracks Sammi
and Rosa down like a vampiric bloodhound. And when she does find them she promises to make them
pay...In blood.
Across town, four nursing students are gearing up for "party night." Jodie (Elizabeth Di Prinzio) is a
pill popper trying to kick the habit but gets no sympathy from the Vodka swilling Carla (Jaimi Paige)
who wants her out of the house. The diplomatic Katie (Sarah MacKay) and the compassionate Amy
(Leesel Boulware) are willing to give her a second chance until Jodie ups and disappears on them.
Their night of partying takes a detour as they go and look for Jodie.
Problem is, the vampires may find them first....

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
One of the great things about creating a movie like this is that you can go back and be a kid again.
Waaaaay back in the day, my late uncle Ben and I used to stay up late and watch a show in the Bay
Area called "Creature Features." It was hosted by Bob Wilkins who is now touring the convention
circuit. Wilkins was a bespectacled guy who introduced every movie to the viewing audience and
developed quite a cult following among the horror fans in the Bay Area. I should say though that the
majority of the time I would end up falling asleep during the majority of the flicks he would show
because it would come on so damn late (11 p.m.)
The majority of the movies he would show were those offerings from Hammer House, a horror
production studio out of England. I think my favorite was Christopher Lee in "Dracula: Prince of
Darkness"...The foggy and dark British countryside was damn spooky for an eight year old and I
loved the Hammer Films.
Flash forward decades later and I have two vampire movies under my belt.
"Crimson" is actually my second go around at making a vampire flick. My first was entitled "A Candle
In The Dark." That was my rookie movie. I was still wet behind the ears and using analog video. So,
with "Crimson", it was a test to see how far I'd come as a director.
"Crimson" is the brainchild of screenwriter Daniel Chant. I'm in debt for his hard work on the script.
Mark Grant offered some screenwriting help as well. Shaun Dobie and Vincent Hunt provided some
of the poster designs you see on the page.
It is a *comic book* horror movie. In other words, we didn't take ourselves too seriously in making
the flick but there are enough scares to keep you on your toes.
If you listen to various director commentaries on DVDs invariably you'll hear the director mention
how the particular project involved the "best crew I've ever had."
I now realize what some of these directors are feeling. In terms of talent, this was the best cast I've
ever had the privilege to work with. And it is a privilege. These actors weren't paid all that much and
I put them through "low budget hell."
They had to get all gunked up with fake blood, spirit gum (yuck), prosthetics, and then roll around in
the dirt and grass.
Oh, and of course there was the hardship of saying their dialogue while wearing oversized vampire
fangs (try it at your own workplace sometime!)
There was no trailer for them to powder their nose or a high-priced caterer preparing to serve them
foie gras and caviar.
So for them, it was all about the love of the game. I was very lucky to have a cast so passionate about
their work.
