Hi, I'm Dakota Daulby (director) and this film was inspired by my own personal cancer diagnosis. Shoot me or my co-creator Harrison Houde (Vance) any questions! ALSO, stoked to share the news that our short was picked up into a feature film with KIN PRODUCTIONS from legendary show creator Michael Hirst #Vikings #BillyTheKid #TheTudors
Thanks #ALTER for supporting Vance with its online premiere!
Hmmm... So that was pretty romantic for me, I know it has deeper meaning, like living alone, witnessing your family die, but the last shot gave me 🦋🦋🦋. I think I need to see a therapist now, maybe the same therapist Vance went to? Is it possible?😂
Jokes apart, amazing take and amazing storytelling, keep bombarding us with some more such short films❤
Low key want to see a feature length movie or series exploring these concepts
I wish there was a part two I loved it so much!
Fantastic movie! You two did an incredible job. Thrilled to hear it'll be expanded on. Get those blood cell counts in order. We need to see more of you.😷 👍❤
You did a great job and May God always blessed you.
Roger here. I loved being invited to play Vance’s little brother. It was a great experience. Thank you Dakota and Harrison. Michael Klubock
Good job, Michael!
Thanks. Loved being Roger for a bit.
@@kidsoceandayu did amazing in this role u played... I hope u have .ore things coming out ur in, if so let me know so I can check it out & support. Anyways much ❤ & wishing u all the best & hope u have a wonderful week!
I currently have stage 4 colon cancer. I was diagnosed neaely 2 yrs ago, Nov 21, 2022. I can't believe I'm sitting here commenting on this vid, that just happened to pop up in my recommendations. I've been thru A LOT but I'm still here. Thank you God! I have to be honest, if there was a vampire that could give me eternal life...I'd think long and hard about it 😂 The writer said he based this on his own cancer diagnosis. I hope he his doing well + is cancer free ✌️💙
He is cancer free !! ❤ thank you for sharing a small part of your story. so glad this little film was able to reach you
I'm sorry for the pain, giving lots of positive vibes and love
What a fighter you are 💪🏻 Your comment motivated me, thank you and lots of love from me as well ❤
Wishing you all the best! 💓
Sending you many virtual hugs stranger 🖤
I enjoyed how having known vampires in the world was acceptable. The main character appears to be a caring vampire. This short film was creative!
Thank you :) I kinda enjoyed the idea of making our lead vamp just a regular, kinda nerdy dude, that happened to be switched - instead of someone who is super violent.
"Still a better love story than Twilight" is a legit comment for once. 😁
so true XD
Nope
It's never a legit comment because Twilight is actually good only most people like to hate on it.
Would love to see a legit full series with these characters!!!! More backstory, more development, etc!
Oh sick! Ya we got picked up to be made into a feature (maybe a TV show) from showcreator Michael Hirst, he created the Vikings series. So we're def stoked on that.
The actors in this are very talented and natural.
Me: " this is horror?? this was nice and a lovely short film I loved it"
Better than a lot of the horror shorts they show on here with too much focus on reality.
How touching! The sound was a bit hard to hear at the end but the message was clear. The shot of the TV monkey was very horrific. My father had dementia, made me feel sad for Vance as he saw the deterioration up close and personal. And he was out on a date when his brother died, perhaps trying to watch tv or to eat. I wondered about Vance's guilt and him not being there for his brother when he needed him. The love interest...I think Vance should steer clear of her and not bite her. She came off as too self-involved and projected what she wanted onto poor Vance w/o listening to him, for me.
It's not having an end that makes life meanful. It's the people you love that will eventually bring meaning to your life/end.❤ love this short
❤❤❤❤
Thank you :)
Wow the old man...its his baby brother ..
I know, that surprised me too, I thought it was his dad or uncle or something?
Fun fact, the old man was also my landlord in LA.... so if I cut him out of the film i would have lost my apartment haha (jokes).
@@dakotadaulby94 🤣
Great short
The Cancer part was terrifying
And Scary
So far a good film always been a fan of certain vampires.
Not a horror flick. But a lovely commentary on life though.
For some, life is horror. It is a great short
@@ohdannyboy4727you are so right about that
I want to see a TV series of this!!! 😢😮🎉
I have just one comment for the entire cast and production "Beautifully made".
Love this! Great show. So original. A funky vampire movie. Gosh I miss the seventies too!
It's not bad or good; it's a short film. It took me two views to understand the premise of the film. The girl, in the end, needed to have a backstory, although we figured out that she wanted to be a vampire. Vance wants to die but finds meaning with a human? OK, I can buy that. I think this could be a series; it has so much potential, and I love the short scene takes.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it TWICE!! So glad you see it as a show! We got the film picked up for a feature thru Michael Hirst (creator of VIKINGS!!!)
@@dakotadaulby94 yes, my honest opinion as a common person that enjoys short films. I really do believe it could be a series, I would love to see that kid from the store have a backstory and Vance has so much potential to grow as a vampire. Now a good soundtrack would tie it all in
@@carlonsae4147
The short film was good please we need a part 2
We’re working on the feature !! ❤️
I love the credit scroll you had here. I also really loved the theme of loss. Vance feels like he lost purpose in life having no way to age and grow old and pass naturally. He also has had to watch everyone close to him leave him behind. I felt that pain when he explained he was watching his baby brother slowly deteriorate from dementia.
Oh I'm glad that resonated for you. It was definitely a small part of a much MUCH larger theme that we'd had the chance to explore in the feature film version of this concept. Glad you were able to connect to it.
@@dakotadaulby94 The fact that you made it his baby brother also hits harder in the feels. "Baby brother" conjures images of a small child. It completely contrasts with the visual of this old man struggling to even feed himself
Vance as the older brother was also no doubt told to be his brother's keeper and we see he's kept that true right up until the inevitable.
All the vampires look like children 😂 but the story was adorable
I believe they were ment to be children to portray the age they were bitten at 😊
@@pivotguy333 You got it!!
I'd love a second part!
This would make a great full length film
What a lovely film, I need a second part!
Ya! We got the film picked up by a UK production company to make into a FEATURE.
So hopefully you'll get it soon!!
@@dakotadaulby94 so glad to hear! Congrats!
Love your short films
😊😊😊 thank u so much.
@@dakotadaulby94 What other films have you made?
I would definitely watch a full-length feature film with this concept, just saying ♥️.
As someone who had cancer just over five years ago (and is cancer-free for now 🤞🏼), I related to this hardcore. In my personal experience, death doesn't give my life meaning, but it does give everything a sense of urgency. There have been times I've wanted to die to get away from life, and times I was scared to die because I didn't want to live an unfulfilled life. Given the chance to become immortal, I'd have to think long and hard about it. We humans have a very strange relationship with death and our keen awareness of it and what it means for us and I think this short does an excellent job of portraying that (and I'd love to see more).
Wow, what an amazing comment. And I'm very happy to hear you are doing ok now! So glad the themes reached you.
This is a really fresh take on the vampire theme. I loved it!
This was great. I hope they make another with the same 2 characters
i feel like that’s sadder than it is scary 🥺
This is not a horror movie, it is a psychological drama!
Just saw Longlegs and thought you had a great presence in it, so I checked out what other projects you did. Magnificent short, loved it.
Thanks for yr film.
Great little film!.
I WANT MOREEEEEEEEEE
PART 2 PLEASE!!!!!
hahaha yes you will have it! GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WAAAANT.
I enjoyed this flick.🙃👍
I always watch Alter horrors when they come up in my feed, because almost never they are horror. I love theme, they are creative and deeply emotional.
Summoning the entire homestuck fandom with mini kanaya 😅
I loved this. ❤😊
Awesome! Thank you for saying that evil dragon that is boredom on a rainy day in Texas!
Omg same here. Hopefully you aren't still without lights/ electricity like I am 😮
@@IAmPhoenix85 we got no power and no water when that little almost F1 tornado touchdown nearby took out the power and trees out of the ground and something which causes the lines to break from the water but then Tuesday and Wednesday and then last night again severe weather came by and it put all the power repairs behind even further LOL so now they're saying we might get it back buy next Tuesday or Wednesday LOL. You can imagine I smell pretty right cuz I've been fishing in the creeks and ponds around my house every chance I get when it's not raining for 30 minutes so I stink pretty bad LOL
@@IAmPhoenix85 which part of Texas are you in?
Not BAD!!! Very interesting story line.
too difficult to read the font that's been used in the opening titles
This was a surprise because vampires and no biting. 😀
I hope we get a sequel
LUV UR VIDS!!!
Outrageously fine job. You deserve the break. Hope EVERYTHING gets better in the future. Keep up the good fight.
Well damn! Did he bite her?
Very nice job! I really enjoyed it.Hope you can continue with the story line.Would like to see what happens or continues with Vance's vampire life and her's to...PLEASE MAKE A PART 2... Thanks 👍
Yes! We're turning it into a feature film!! Excited to share updates soon.
Beautiful
This reminds me of Warm Bodies but instead of zombies it's vampires and has a little bit of Day Breakers thrown in minus the super violence two thumbs up plus my two big toes which gives it four up
Awsome video ❤❤❤❤
Loved it; thanks!
A love story❤❤
Certified Gold!!!!!
Excellent
As usual we ignore the fact that vampires are usually much older than their companions. If Vance was around50 he should fund companions around that age. This commentary is not talked Bout often enough.
Good short flick
Not sure how I should feel about a short horror movie using my last name haha 🤣
hahahaha we appreciate you lending it to us.
perfect ❤❤❤
Love you ALTER
Dr. Blood 😂 And what, Blood Weiser for their get togethers
A slice of life movie.
Awesome.
👍🏾🔥
Different. A little too undramatic for my taste. Needed more direct struggle of some sort.
Still best wishes for it on the circuit. Keep striving, keep growing.
who is the music by he was dancing too

What video did that baboon with the violin come from?
It's a love story

Nicely done for "short attention span cinema!"
I think many horror shorts are better than feature length films. And you do not waste 2-2.5 hours on a bad film that disappoints, makes no sense, is silly, or formulaic.
Not bad. The ending seemed a bit too abrupt to me, though. Taking a little more time would have enriched the emotional payload the filmmakers had obviously intended.
Kanaya fans assembling in 3, 2..
Sad ending
First comment 🎉😂😂
Congratulations. Your parents must be so proud ?
*Only joking with you.
Yeah so ?
😈👍
The 12 year old at the register.
Good.
But not scary.
Fofo
Dr Blood
clearly rip off of Dr Pepper
haha of course! That's what we thought was funny about it.
MOST BORING SHORT MOVIE EVER!
boring
a lot of these aren't even scary or good
Well done
