Are vampires capable of loving humans? Or is it all just a ruse for them to get their claws on their next meal? That’s the question in How Far Does the Dark Go?, a new supernatural romance film premiering at this year’s Queer Screams Film Festival that just dropped a new trailer.
Written and directed by Bears Rebecca Fonte, How Far Does the Dark Go? stars Chloe Carroll, Anna Hindman, Sam Rothermel, Robert Picardo, Telita Perry, Jim Schubin, and Kim Wong. The film’s synopsis is as follows:
Grace’s life has been a series of disappointments. Addicted to morphine, the nurse doesn’t have much reason to fight back when Evienne, a vampire, kidnaps her. Deep below Philadelphia, Evienne has preyed on the city for eighty years from a series of forgotten subway tunnels. Now, with her still-human son Henry dying of cancer, Evienne has nowhere to turn for help but from the innocents who are normally nothing more than dinner. Grace and Evienne develop a strange bond that caring for the same person creates, or is the vampire just beguiling the nurse, twisting reality, and lowering her inhibitions?
However, more than one vampire curses the streets of Philadelphia. Evienne’s spurned ex-girlfriend Tempest has returned full of bloodlust and vengeance and wants nothing more than to draw Evienne away from what little humanity she has left. As Evienne ushers Grace into her secret life as the world’s apex predator, the mounting bone-dry body count soon draws the pursuit of Dayanara, vigilante vampire slayer. But does Grace even want to be rescued? The undead life offers her more control than she could ever attain as a human but her patient, who has studied his mother his whole life, begs Grace not to become just like her, a monster.
How Far Does the Dark Go? is produced by Carroll, Carrie Cates, Fonte, and Brittany Snyman, with executive producers Erin Fonte and Cyndi DuFur, with co-producers Rob Margolies, Gina Martino, and Hieu Tran. The film is set to have its world premiere at this year’s Queer Screams Film Festival on August 2, showing at 7PM PT at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland.
