The plot of "Vamped Out," actor/comedian -- and now director -- Kevin Pollak's new five-part mockumentary Web series follows a documentarian named Elliot Finke (Pollak) as he shoots what he thinks is the first documentary of an actual vampire. His film follows a 35-year-old struggling actor/vampire (Jason Antoon) trying to make a living in Tinseltown. Pollak's character follows the undead thespian as he repeatedly gets rejected for the roles he was literally born to play.
Pollak's live, interactive talk show, "Kevin Pollak's Chat Show" has been airing for about a year, and its success inspired the actor to try something different in the online sphere.
"The 'Chat Show' has really made me aware of how incredible the Web community is to interact and support high-quality and funny content. With 'Vamped Out', I wanted to create a series that would truly appeal to fans of comedy no matter what platform" Pollak said.
Pollak co-created "Vamped Out" with Antoon ("Contact," "Minority Report"). Other cast members include Samm Levine ("Freaks and Geeks," "Inglorious Basterds") and Seana Kofoed ("Men in Trees"). The series was shot by cinematographer Robert Legato, who won an Academy Award for best visual effects for his work on James Cameron's "Titanic." Each episode ends with a cliffhanger a la the adventure serials of yore, to keep audiences coming back. The first episode went live Monday, and a new installment will air each Monday for the following four weeks on the Babelgum website's comedy channel.
Vamped Out is a weekly series taken from a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Elliot Finke (Pollak). During the spring and summer of 2009, Elliot shot what he believed was the first documentary of an actual vampire. While in postproduction, he went missing. The series follows a modern day 35-year-old struggling actor/Vampire (Antoon) trying to make a living in Los Angeles. Pollak follows the Vampire as he continuously gets rejected for the role he was literally born to play.
