[Descriptive transcript: Video opens to a black background with the KissFist logo (a blue silhouetted person wearing a green beanie and signing “KissFist” with a yellow speech bubble “KissFist” next to it. Underneath the speech bubble is yellow text: “72 HR Film Challenge.” Behind all is a purple gum splotch melting.) Deaf Spotlight logo is in lower right corner during whole video. Video transitions to a vampire sitting up with their arms crossed then turns to look at the camera. The vampire is wearing a black outfit with a black cape. The background is cathedral style-stained glass windows with candles underneath.]

Vampire: 1,000 years asleep. Finally, the 2024 KissFist Film Challenge is here. February 16 to 19. President’s Day Weekend. Friday to Monday.

[Vampire reaches out as they leap toward the camera. Video becomes black then transitions to Vampire wiping their mouth. The background is a dark cloudy night with the moon behind the castle.]

Vampire: 1,000 years without food. Gosh, I’m hungry. You know, you don’t need fancy equipment for filmmaking. All you really need is pen, paper, that thing you call a... “P-H-O-N-E”, —in my time, we used an old-fashioned camera— your imagination, and some patience.
