Director Ariane Louis-Seize Talks About Her New Film “Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person!”

Drafthouse Films’ latest release is a coming-of-age teen film. With vampires, of course. “Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person” is a dark comedy about Sasha (Sara Montpetit), a vampire who can’t kill, and Paul (Félix-Antoine Bérnard), the suicidal teen she bonds with. Québécois Director Ariane Louis-Seize (along with co-writer Christine Doyon) has crafted a debut feature with heart and blood. Even though it’s not her first language, Louis-Seize was gracious enough to speak to us in English. She talked briefly with us about “graduating” from making short films, writing from various points-of-view, and eating clowns.

“Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person” Might Be What You’re Looking For (REVIEW)

What is the goth version of “twee?” There has to be a Hot Topic employee out there who can define it. Whatever the adjective, it applies to the latest release from Drafthouse Films, “Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person.” The debut feature from French Canadian film from director Ariane Louis-Seize is much better than I’ve made it sound so far. Louis-Seize (along with her co-writer Christine Doyon) may have just dropped the year’s sleeper comedy, which has already won awards at Venice and TIFF.
