Michael Almereyda

Previous films include: Experimenter, Hamlet, Nadja

Merging elements from Dracula's Daughter (1936) with André Breton’s surrealist novel Nadja (1928), and fusing shimmering black-and-white 35mm with hallucinatory Pixelvision video, Michael Almereyda’s acclaimed cult film centers on New York-based vampire Nadja as she draws close to her twin brother Edgar following their father’s death at the hands of Dr. Van Helsing. Edgar’s private nurse, Van Helsing’s nephew Jim, and Jim's wife are entangled in the story as the vampire killer pursues “the fiend” from Manhattan to Transylvania. Executive produced by David Lynch.
