My two cents, only if you wish .. I know I like more than "the costumes were good and you were great" line. Saw ANNALIESE, well done for your maiden directorial effort. Love B&W, use of light fit, the death scene transitional fade was timed well. Music becomes more important and was appropriate throughout without being overwhelming. Had little touches of the old silent film theatrical acting (mascara a nice MU addition) along with modern interp. The shadow hand over Bill's face, the camera technique in the half circle in the restroom, good scenes. And the character contrasts, the vampire is the sweet girl with a good if misguided intention, and George committing an act against her that conflicts as being justified with his claimed victim status, were authentic. Dialogue boards and the font, great homage to the silent era.
