Directed by Vanessa Stachel.

A vampire searches every night for new victims on the rain-soaked streets of Hamburg. The thirst is driving her mad. Voices in her head tell her to feed, slaughter, and devour—again and again. Never satisfied. When she comes to a lonesome kiosk, the clerk there seems doomed. But might she find something here to cure her eternal thirst?

Featuring a thrilling Horror-Score as well as some punchy breakbeats in the end. This project was super fun to work with.
