Léa Fae Caddigan will make their feature debut with the vampire comedy Blue Balls, and Variety reports that Blu del Barrio (“Star Trek: Discovery”) and Clare Noelle will star.
Charlie Hiscock (“Ted Lasso”) and Ian Alexander (“Star Trek: Discovery”) also star.
Variety previews, “Blue Balls follows Emma (Clare Noelle), who, back at home in her small town, wants nothing more than a night of driving around and hanging out with her best friend, Mara (Blu del Barrio). But when they meet Tom and Jack, Mara invites these two strangers back to their place to get to know each other better.
“The only problem is that Emma is a virgin as is Tom. But Tom’s not a sexual virgin, he’s a vampire who’s never killed before and he’s hoping tonight will be the night for him to join a centuries-old vampire fraternity. As the two humans fight for their lives with every weapon they can find, this horror show turns into a comedic blood battle for their freedom.”
Meredith Metcalf wrote the screenplay with Léa Fae Caddigan.
“Blue Balls is relevant to anyone who has ever felt like romance, sex, dating, and life is a survivor’s sport,” said Caddigan. “I like stories that deliver deep points and hard truths with humor and action, and no one expects stunt sequences, car chases, and bloody vampires in a film that explores consent, coercion and personal agency.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better team than the folks at Dazey Phase, whose dedication to responsible storytelling and championing unique perspectives is unwavering.”
