The tranny vampires of Lost Girls
Talk about a walk down memory lane. The other day I suddenly remembered that there had been a two-episode web series about tranny vampires called Lost Girls. Originally released around Halloween in 2001, back when I was living in Vancouver, the Lost Girls is currently still available online and in true 2001-era web the video size is tiny.
The Lost Girls was “shot with a night vision camera and later tinted red, The Lost Girls came into being without a script, storyboards, crew or trained actors. In pseudo-documentary style, both The Lost Girls and Westend Werewolf feature actors playing themselves in their ordinary lives, but extraordinary situations. Armed with a basic story outline, a handheld camera and the desire to subvert the vampire genre film, The Lost Girls was shot in sequence over the course of two long nights in September 2001.”
Personally I knew many of the actors and filmmakers behind The Lost Girls, and they were familiar people around the club scene. You can even see my old apartment building in one scene.
