About the film:

A frustrated filmmaker, facing creative paralysis, turns to an A.I. chatbot in order to make his latest movie a hit. The result: a Dracula film made in Transylvania. What does it contain? A vampire hunt. Zombies and Dracula crashing a strike. A science-fiction story about Vlad the Impaler coming back. An adaptation of the first Romanian vampire novella. A love story. A montage reusing a classic vampire film. A vulgar folktale. AI-generated kitsch stories. And many delights in a film dealing with this cinema myth.

About the filmmaker:

Radu Jude is a Romanian filmmaker celebrated for his sharp, provocative storytelling and darkly satirical explorations of history, memory, and morality in modern Eastern Europe.
