Director Statement

"The Big Bite" was a Production Workshop for film school that I shot as a potential pilot for a web series.

My Directing instructor asked us to pitch a scene to shoot that involved a conversation between two characters in an Interior vehicle location. The only other requirement was to stay within a $300 school allocated Production Budget.

There was a location, near where I was living at the time in Harlem, that I loved and always wanted to use for an Exterior shoot. And the least expensive vehicle to use was the crew van.

With all those ingredients I imagined a seedy scenario between a Hooker and her Trick and "Dientes" was born.

Dientes is a trans "serial biter" who trolls the City for male victims at various cruising locations to add trophies to her pickled penis collection.

There was a final scene which involved Dientes sprouting wings and sort of flying away down the pedestrian bridge she first appeared on. Unfortunately, the inclement weather and safety issues prevented us from shooting that scene.
