Director's Vision

Fat White Vampire Blues is more than just a dark comedy—it's a love letter to the strange, the absurd, and the deeply human. New Orleans, with its rich history and vibrant culture, is the perfect backdrop for a story that explores what it means to be an outsider, to wrestle with your identity, and to find redemption in the most unlikely of places.

Jules Duchon is not your typical vampire. He’s flawed, he’s funny, and he’s fighting against the current of a world that’s constantly changing around him. This film is about embracing those imperfections, about finding strength in vulnerability, and about the joy of laughing in the face of darkness. Even if you are the darkness.

As a director, my goal is to bring Jules’ story to life with the same humor and heart that made the original book a cult classic. I want audiences to feel the pulse of New Orleans in every frame, to see the beauty in the ridiculous, and to leave the theater with a smile on their faces—Jules isn't just flying by the seat of his pants, he's losing them all together - and often!
