BEAUTY NEVER FADES

SHORT FILM

LOGLINE: A beautiful contract killer named Eddy (Edith) is confronted with the emptiness of her life as she draws closer to her first one hundred years as a vampire.

CHARACTERS


TAYLOR PENTECOST as “EDDY” (EDITH)

Having spent her early years as a smiling, bloodthirsty monster, EDDY now lives her un-life in near total isolation; drinking synthetic blood, scowling, and staying out of the sun. When she does leave the house, Eddy works as a contract killer, having become a multi-millionaire.

But after 92 years as a vampire, Eddy begins to contemplate how exactly she means to spend eternity.


SOLO GRAVES as “CASPAR”

An enigmatic, frighteningly tall vampire, Caspar is old enough to know that life shouldn’t be taken too seriously. He smiles, wears stylish clothing, and even wears a grill on his fangs. A voracious reader, Caspar is the master of a variety of disciplines. He’s even the original owner of Eddy’s katana, having lent it to her decades ago.

Caspar has genuine care for Eddy, and appears when least expected.


FATHER BARRON

FATHER BARRON knows that Eddy is a vampire. Though controversial among his peers, Father Barron keeps Eddy well stocked on myrrh, frankincense, holy water, and anything else she might need when she goes out hunting.

Though he may recognize in himself the risk for developing personal feelings, Father Barron is primarily a man of God. His greatest hope is to one day bring Eddy salvation.


GREGORIO SERRATO as “GREGORIO”

Gregorio is a transporter. Often Eddy will send him on assignments as a courier, to collect things she needs, or to help her move about in secret during the day.

Gregorio has never seen Eddy’s face. He’s never even formally met Eddy in person. He gets paid up front. He does his job. He never asks questions.

Gregorio’s style is neat, and obsessively clean. He prefers to drink soda in glass bottles.


AJ GATIO - “ADRIAN QUINN”

ADRIAN QUINN is a monster-of-the-week criminal that Eddy has no problem accepting money to kill.

Eddy can disassociate from her targets, but she’d hate to admit that people like Quinn remind her of how much fun she used to have when she killed indescriminately.
