Peter Langone & StudioOne THE DIRECTORS: Matt Jespersen and Maclain Nelson met while attending Brigham Young Univer sity in 2002. They became friends while performing with an improv group. Matt since earned an MFA from the University of Miami. His short film, "I'm Pretty, Too" won the best film at the Cannes Film Festival and appeared at the CineVegas Film Festival and several others. Maclain has been involved in several films including , "Moving McAllister", "ORCS!", and "The Sinking of Santa Isabel". After years of working on their own, Maclain and Matt teamed up to write and direct their first feature, "Dr. Limptooth". Vampires in the pop culture of today are typically portrayed as strong, sexy and dominant predators. We thought it would be interesting to explore the world of a vampire that is a bit depressed, who had lost his "mojo", who wasn't on the top of the food chain. We wanted to see a vampire who feels a little more like a human. This is the idea that "Dr. Limptooth" came from. We hope this film serves a fresh take on the genre and will be the first of many films from us in the future. Most of all, we hope this film makes you laugh. Thank you. Maclain Nelson and Matt Jespersen
