Director Statement

Talk Show Host is a love letter to classic vampire cinema, blending gothic horror with the seductive allure of old Hollywood. Henry York embodies the timeless vampire, charming, dangerous, and tragically obsessed with the past. Visually, the film embraces deep reds and blues, evoking the lush, hypnotic atmosphere of the genre’s golden age. This is a story of hunger. Both for blood and lost love. Told with elegance, dread, and a touch of dark romance.
