Actor/director/writer Jason Michael Fong created his short film “Bite Me” a few years back and recently put it online. The short draws some interesting parallels in the dating scenes between the Asian American male and vampires. Here’s more about the short:
Drake (Jason Michael Fong), a lonely accountant/vampire who doesn’t seem to have much luck with the ladies, tries his hand at Last-Minute Mate Speed Dating.
Will he score any points with the sexy, outspoken Vanessa (Natalise) who has more in common with Drake than she cares to admit? How about the lusty Goth girl Sara (Katherine Fullenlove) who seems to like Drake for all the wrong reasons? Milla (Kimberly Chong) seems like the nice girl next door. But will she go for a dork like Drake?
As he wades through all the different personalities, deals with a flamboyant event crasher (Owen Thomas), and takes the brunt of a hostess’ (Brenda Cepeda) jokes, Drake realizes that dating doesn’t just suck, it bites.
