Understanding Vampires – Casting For Sundance Channel Documentary Series

Dear Vampire community, family and friends,

Hybrid Films, a production company based in New York City, is making a documentary series for the Sundance Channel, and we’d like to speak with self-identified psychic and sanguinarian vampires who might be interested in mending an existing, challenging relationship.  We will endeavor to treat the subject of real vampirism with the utmost respect and sensitivity and wish to avoid cliche stereotyping.

Do you have a family member or friend who does not understand your life choices, interests or practices? Has this caused distance or a deep misunderstanding between you? If you gave your family or friend an opportunity to walk in your shoes to see your life from your point of view, would this open a pathway to an improved understanding and respect?  Do you care about them enough to take part in this leap of faith?

We are providing members of different types of communities an opportunity to show us their story, which could positively impact thousands of viewers in a meaningful way. Part of the approach will include someone introducing a family member to his/her community or belief system in the hope of bringing people closer together.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, please contact Andrew at Andrew@hybridfilms.tv for more information about the project. For more information about our company please go to http://www.hybridfilms.tv/shows

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Vampires In Relationships – Casting For VH1 Series

VPEtalent is casting a new series for VH1 that features unique couples who are making it work, against all odds. The 10 episode series will feature two couples who although live their lives differently than many other couples, are just as in love and happy as anyone else. Couples need to be married or in a committed relationship. Ideally, one person in the relationship might not share the same lifestyle choices as their partner, but fully supports and embraces it.

  • Deadline: End Of December 2012
  • Talent Fee: TBD
  • Casting: ASAP

If interested please reply with a photo of you as a couple, a brief overview of your relationship including how long you’ve been together, how you’re making your relationship work, and what are the unique benefits and challenges of being in a relationship where only one person is a vampire.

Please reply to Julia via the e-mail below:
