Last week I spoke with Ti West who created, wrote, and directed Dead & Lonely.
Dead & Lonely: “IFC Original five episode web series DEAD & LONELY, written, produced and directed by cult indie horror filmmaker Ti West (The Roost, Trigger Man, The House Of The Devil) premieres on IFC.com today at noon ET/PT. Each additional episode will air every night this week on IFC.com at noon. In this series, two lonely Los Angeles singles are brought together via an Internet dating website called DateOrDie.net. The only problem is that one of them is a vampire.”
