Description

Sasha is a teenage vampire who just doesn’t want to kill humans. When her exasperated parents cut off her blood supply, Sasha’s life is in jeopardy. She meets Paul, a dour teenager, who’s eager to die to nourish his new friend.

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person has garnered critical acclaim and charmed audiences around the world. Filmmaker Ariane Louis-Seize has crafted a playful genre film with tremendous heart, and distinctive performances from its two leads.

“Ariane Louis-Seize makes her feature-length directorial debut with this daring and daffy horror-comedy that plays like Romeo and Juliet meets Beetlejuice and Amelie.” –Kristy Puchko, Mashable
