Movie Trailer: Emily Haggins' 'My Sucky Teen Romance'

This weekend at Austin Comic-Con, teenage filmmaker Emily Hagins' premiered the trailer for her new movie, My Sucky Teen Romance. Some of you might remember Emily from the popular filmmaking documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie, which chronicled Hagins attempt to film a feature length zombie movie at the age of only twelve. Now eighteen years old, Emily has just completed her third feature — a teen vampire comedy.

As I've said before, I think the concept of the film is kind of clever. Where can real vampires prey in a world obsessed with fictional Vampires? How about a sci-fi convention filled with Twilight fans. The vampires don't even need to disguise themselves, as they blend in with the vampire cosplayers walking the floor. Hit the jump to watch the first trailer for the independently produced film. At very least, the trailer looks to be a better send-up of the teen vampire film genre than the Friedberg/Seltzer 2010 spoof "comedy" Vampire's Suck, and made for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the budget.

Emily still needs your help. She is asking for donations to complete post production this Summer. Hagins is looking to raise $5,500, which will cover editing, sound design, color correction, and a score. Head to IndieGogo for your chance to contribute.
