DEAD SUCKS was written originally as a feature-length TV pilot. Writer/director Elias & the BiFF JUGGERNAUT team have produced the first 7 minutes of the pilot and will be screening it at festivals and conventions as an introductory short in an effort to drum up awareness and the needed additional financing and support.

Feature pilot synopsis: Introducing Burt, a wayward vampire with a messy past, an uncertain future and a disproportionate need for sleep. Rejected by both humans and his own kind, he searches to find his place in a world where the only thing that sucks more than being alive is being dead.

Pursued by a Stranger with a thirst for more than blood, and a mad trucker hell-bent on taking his “gift”, Burt finds an unlikely ally when he crosses paths with Besty, a punkish girl who knows how to kick some ass and doesn't look back.

Will Burt escape the Stranger that stalks his every move? Will he find in Besty someone to share his cursed existence with or will he be doomed to a life of endless hitchhiking and one night stands?

Find out why it sucks to be dead.
