A horror comedy short film that follows The Von Steins, a vampire family who welcome their daughter's new boyfriend Max into their home. Little does he know that The Von Steins have only one thing on their mind - BLOOD.
Director Statement
“THE VON STEINS” was born from my obsession with trying to present gothic cinema in a way I hadn’t seen it before. The film's cinematic language homages horror classics such as The Haunting (1963) and Nosferatu (1922), but at its core, it’s a comedy. I knew that likable characters would be key to making this fusion of genres work, so I landed on a blood-sucking vampire family who are just as funny as they are fierce. I’ve truly grown to love The Von Steins and I cannot wait for you to finally meet them.
