The Story
When a disillusioned young man stumbles upon a blood-soaked woman in an abandoned subway station, he makes an impulse decision to seal a pact to save her—only to discover she’s a vampire. Now bound to her blood, secrets, and an impending clash with the vampire hunter she once loved, he must face an impossible choice: love or survival, humanity or the monster within.
The Story
Hung, a disillusioned young man weeks away from his own wedding, stumbles upon a dying, blood-soaked woman in an abandoned subway station. When she begs for his help, he makes an impulsive decision and offers his own blood—only to realize too late that he’s signed a pact with a vampire named Beatrice. Now bound to her as a thrall, Hung is thrust into her world of bloodlust, betrayal, and a past Beatrice can’t outrun.
As Hung struggles with his own humanity and the choices he’s made, Beatrice prepares for an inevitable confrontation with a relentless vampire hunter Angelia, her lover. Torn between centuries of pain and the lingering embers of their bond, Beatrice faces the truth she’s been running from—some love stories can only end in tragedy.
With the rising sun threatening to turn Beatrice to ash, Hung must make an impossible choice: embrace the monster he’s becoming or find a way to break free. As fangs flash and blades strike under the city lights, the battle between love and survival reaches its breaking point, that not everyone will live to see another night.

Elena has worked on over 100 movies & TV shows, ranging from $20K indies to $300M blockbusters, that have totaled over $10 Billion at the worldwide box office. Having played roles in four different languages, while able to wield a sword and do a back-flip, Elena has portrayed everything from a secretary to a witch, and from a drug addict to an assassin. But hanging from a helicopter flying through downtown Atlanta while in the arms of Spider-Man may arguably be the craziest thing she's done on film.
Elena's feature film debut as an actress was the highly anticipated second installment of "The Hunger Games" films, "Catching Fire," where she portrayed Cecelia, the tribute from District 8. Elena's television appearances include roles on AMC's "The Walking Dead," CBS's "NCIS: New Orleans," and FOX's "Sleepy Hollow."
This film is a labor of love for all of us. We've been trying every day to make films better and better for our fans.
This film has a diverse cast of ethnicities and LGBTQ identities but it’s not a movie that’s just about these things. This film speaks to a modern audience who themselves are diverse and have unique perspectives on life that are too often the primary focus of a narrative, but too often we don’t get to see these perspectives in a more mainstream narrative, along with incredible, unique, real-life locations that bring the story to life.
We are currently in pre-production for this film.
