Third Shift

2010 · 16 min

A scrappy, jokey little vampire short that plays its deadpan loser-hero premise for low-key laughs and mild gross-out gags.

Overview: Larry works the night shift at a convenience store. He can't get a girl, and he hates his life. But that's not his biggest problem: He's a vampire, and he has to learn how to become a vampire in order to become a man.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, absurd and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, isolation, coming-of-age, loneliness
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
