Though the hilarious vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows from Jemaine Clement and Taiki Waititi is going to play in limited release in LA and NYC on Feb. 13th, both Jemaine and Taika want to follow suit with David Cross’ Hits and expand the release to as many cities as possible around the good ol’ U.S. of A. They’re aiming for about 70.

So, to do this, they’re attempting to raise $400,000 to accomplish that goal on Kickstarter. As of this post, they’ve raised $289,863 and only have 5 more days, specifically until Feb. 12th 4:37PM, to crowdfund the rest.

The rewards are pretty great ranging from set visits and special screenings to baby onesies and cooking aprons.

So, please take the money you were going to spend on the corporate-created Valentine’s Day and make sure America gets to see What We Do In The Shadows. Your significant other will understand.

Before dealing with the speculation as to what he will be doing 4 episodes of with HBO and if it’ll involve Bret McKenzie, Jemaine Clement has co-written and co-directed what seems to be a great tongue-and-cheek vampire mockumentary with Taiki Waititi called What We Do In The Shadows.

While playing at TIFF, it has picked up a distribution deal to play here in the States thanks to The Orchard and Unison Films. That’s great to hear so we’ll get to see what 4 vampires living in New Zealand dealing with modern life will be like.
