The Dumb Cool Weird Podcast

Alex Javo transforms Greek mythology into modern vampire romance in his remarkable debut feature "Ambrogio: The First Vampire." After years of facing typecasting as an actor in Atlanta's film industry, Javo decided to create his own breakthrough opportunity by writing, directing, and starring in a completely fresh take on vampire lore.What separates this indie production from countless other vampire tales is its foundation in ancient Greek mythology and Javo's extraordinary commitment to embodying his character. He underwent a dramatic physical transformation, losing 40 pounds in just two months through an extreme diet where he only ate three days per week. "I wanted to not only look the part but feel what a starving vampire might feel," he explains, drawing on his Stanislavski training. Working with an Italian dialect coach added another layer of authenticity, as Javo mastered not just the language but subtle mannerisms that brought historical depth to his character.Perhaps most impressive is how Javo leveraged his eight years of industry relationships to assemble a dream team of collaborators. This strategic approach allowed the entire feature to be shot in just seven and a half days—a testament to the chemistry and professionalism of the cast and crew. When inevitable challenges arose, from sudden rainstorms to equipment failures, Javo's steady leadership kept the production on track. "I knew if I broke down or got angry, it wouldn't do any good for the environment," he reflects, highlighting the importance of directorial temperament on independent sets.Drawing inspiration from filmmakers like Scorsese and Tarantino, Javo has created something that honors cinematic traditions while establishing his unique voice. "Ambrogio: The First Vampire" arrives on Amazon, Walmart, Fandango, and Voodoo beginning March 11th. Don't miss this debut from an emerging filmmaker who's already planning his next feature—a gangster drama that promises to blend elements of "The Godfather" with "Rocky" for a fresh take on classic genres.Support the show:

According to Kelly, the payment covered one half or less of the production costs of the music video, and Black's family could have paid nothing in exchange for giving up all rights to the song.[16][18] Black chose "Friday", as "Super Woman" "was about adult love–I haven't experienced that yet". "I felt like it was my personality in that song".[19][20] ARK Music extensively used the pitch-correcting software Auto-Tune.[21] Although Kelly had some doubts over the quality of the lyrics, Black assured her that "she sang it as they wrote it."[17]Support the show:
