Search for a Vampire (2008) 

*** (out of 4)

Professor Dubbs (Scott Ford) is doing interviews looking for an assistant on his upcoming documentary on vampires. After a couple failed auditions he comes across a young woman named Trish (Mera Oliveria) who might just have what he's looking for. This four-minute short film from Ray Nomoto Robison is actually rather funny and charming as long as you don't take it too serious. The two failed auditions are actually pretty funny and the payoff to the third at least made me laugh a little. What I enjoyed most about the film were the two lead performances. I thought both actors were quite good in their roles and they at least helped keep you into what was going on.
