Duck 66 Films are shooting a horror short Once Bitten… in the Greater Manchester area in July 2017 and casting is now open.<\/p>\n

One stormy night a hotel guest calls the plumber to fix the toilet in his hotel bathroom but the plumber who turns up might just be a vampire. Will the guest survive the night?<\/p>\n

Once Bitten…is a one location film which takes place in a hotel room with only two characters and will be filmed in a purpose built set. It’s a quirky script with its tongue firmly in its cheek but some good scares along the way and not a little gore!<\/p>\n

Director Pete Tomkies’ last horror short TEAM achieved 23 official selections and 2 semi-finalist awards at film festivals around the world including festivals in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Scotland and England.<\/p>\n
