Working with a limited budget? Hire Nick Damici to be part of your film! Not only does he write and act, but he’s willing to live in a tent, cook his own food and make his own props, too.<\/p>\n
Damici stars in the film Stake Land<\/I> as Mister, a survivor of a vampire apocalypse who prides himself on ridding the world of as many bloodsuckers as possible. One day Mister happens upon a house mid-massacre. When young Martin\u2019s (Connor Paolo) parents are killed, Mister lets Martin join him on his quest to reach New Eden, a place that\u2019s supposedly vampire-free. The duo treks across the treacherous terrain not only having to keep an eye out for vampires, but a harsh and violent religious group known as the Brotherhood, too.<\/p>\n
Damici set up camp in co-writer and director Jim Mickle\u2019s parents\u2019 backyard and the Mulberry Street<\/I> team went to work on bringing their second feature film to life. Stake Land<\/I>\u2019s got everything from smart writing to gruesome makeup to top-notch talent. It\u2019s an entirely professional piece minus all of the glamour and special effects of studio films of the kind, which in turn, makes Stake Land<\/I> one of the most seemingly authentic vampire films out there.<\/p>\n
Check out everything Damici had to say about penning the piece, the production process and more in the video interview below.<\/p>\n
