Undying Love
Eschewing
the gross-out SFX of SLIME CITY, 
Marc
Makowski, Ed Walloga (my Assistant Director on SLIME) and I re-teamed for
this $35,000.00 vampire flick that I wrote and directed. John Rosnell did
an excellent job as Director of Photography, Robert Sabin and Mary Huner returned
for supporting roles, and Tommy Sweeney starred as an angry, suicidal young
man who is cursed with eternal life when he allows the wrong woman to bite
him. UNDYING LOVE garnered a favorable review in The New York Daily News,
and played as a midnight movie for 5 weeks at the Village East Cinemas in
New York City. It preceded Michael Almereyda's NADJA, Abel Ferrara's THE ADDICTION,
and my friend Larry Fessenden's HABIT as the first "downtown" vampire
film. You can order a VHS copy here.

Lining up a shot on location for "Undying Love."
New
York Vampire
While writing UNDYING LOVE, I struggled to create a title that avoided the words "blood" and "vampire." When E.I. Independent Cinema picked up the domestic video rights, the first thing they did was change the title to NEW YORK VAMPIRE, because they thought UNDYING LOVE sounded like a Meryl Streep movie! The second thing they did was design titillating box art featuring a woman who doesn't even appear in the film! I like the cover a lot more than I do the title. There are presently no definite plans for releasing this, my best film, on DVD, but you can buy VHS copies for $9.99 here.
