Vampires seem uniquely suited, as a mythological figure, to examining issues of isolation and loneliness. Whether it be in the cold winters of Sweden or the sunny streets of California, the monster, with its dietary needs, limited daytime movement, and inability to die except by specific means has allowed filmmakers to use the trope to explore people in varying situations who still find themselves the 'other'. In Michael O'Shea's excellent feature debut The Transfiguration, a young black teenager in New York finds both solace and darkness in his vampiric obsession. Milo (Eric Ruffin) lives with his brother in the family apartment after the death of their parents. Milo is constantly bullied by a local gang and his schoolmates, but finds comfort in his obsession with...

Following its well-received screenings at SXSW, The Transfiguration is coming to select theaters this month, and we've been provided with two clips from the vampiric coming-of-age tale for Daily Dead readers to check out.
"An official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, writer/director Michael O’Shea’s debut feature The Transfiguration follows troubled teen Milo who hides behind his fascination with vampire lore. When he meets the equally alienated Sophie, the two form a bond that begins to challenge Milo’s dark obsession, blurring his fantasy into reality. A chilling portrait of violence, The Transfiguration is an atmospheric thriller set against the grit of New York City."
Written and directed by Michael O'Shea, and starring Eric Ruffin and Chloe Levine, The Transfiguration will begin screening April 7th at the Angelika Film Center, followed by an April 21st showing at The Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles, as well as a national release from Strand Releasing.

At this year's SXSW Film Festival, first-time feature filmmaker Michael O'Shea's coming-of-age vampire film, The Transfiguration, made quite a well-received splash. For our latest Q&A feature, Daily Dead caught up with the film's cinematographer, Sung Rae Cho, aka Soichi (who used Canon Cinema Eos C500 and Eos 1D C, as well as Canon cinema zooms and primes on the project), to discuss what went into the making of the independent horror film.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Shoichi. How did you initially get involved as the cinematographer on The Transfiguration?
Shoichi: Thank you! Susan Leber (the producer) contacted me about two years before we actually shot the film and asked me if I’d be interested. I’m not usually too keen on shooting horror/slasher type of films, but knowing her filmography, and taking into account that someone as established as...

Perhaps one of the more interesting titles selected for last year's Cannes Festival was Michael O'Shea's indie film The Transfiguration. It's not uncommon for debut features to make the cut at the prestigious festival but it's not often that an American indie vampire movie makes the cut.
Selected to play as part of the Un Certain Regard section, O'Shea's movie stars Eric Ruffin as Milo, a bullied teen who finds solace in vampire lore. "When he meets the equally alienated Sophie, the two form a bond that begins to challenge Milo's dark obsession, blurring his fantasy into reality."
The trailer for O'Shea's movie is more in the tradition of something like George A. Romero's Martin than any of the flashy interpretations of the last few years and that's a n [Continued ...]...

"So what are vampires like?" Strand has unveiled a trailer for an indie film titled The Transfiguration, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year. This film is actually from America and is the feature debut of filmmaker Michael O'Shea, who tells a very odd vampire fable about a loner kid from Brooklyn who gets a taste for blood. Eric Ruffin stars, along with Chloe Levine as the young girl he befriends. It's hard to really call this a vampire movie, because the vampire / drinking blood aspect of it is part of the plot in a mysterious way. Is he really a vampire? Or is it all in his mind? You'll have to watch this to find out. I saw this film at Cannes last year and I didn't really enjoy it that much, though I admire the filmmaking anyway. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Michael O'Shea's The Transfiguration,...
