Canadian distributor:
When a a charming but awkward vampire named Boya, played by Gordon Currie, is awakened after a 27-year hibernation by a runaway golf ball, he naturally goes looking for food. Vampire food, that is. He scours the local graveyard for fresh blood but finding none he starts to look for other sources. His search takes him to the local donut shop where he becomes involved in the lives of a sarcastic waitress, a philosophical cab driver, and the owner. The prospect of a relationship is hindered however by the presence of a former lover, played by Fiona Reid. Also look for a cameo by David Cronenberg as a sleazeball gangster in this funny take on the vampire genre. It was nominated for three Genie Awards: Best Achievement in Costume Design for Emma England, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Helene Clarkson), and Best Original Screenplay (Andrew Rai Berzins).
