A Word With the Writer
A huge thank you to Porscha for these thoughtful answers and for giving us a glimpse behind the scenes of your work. We at Hollywood Indie Festival are cheering you on as you continue to create. Enjoy the interview below.
Astria has always felt different, but when a dark bloodline war resurfaces, she discovers that her existence is tied to an ancient power capable of ending or ruling them all. As secrets unravel and loyalties shatter, her awakening unleashes a thirst no one can control. BREED THE THIRST is a supernatural action thriller centered on identity, power, bloodlines, loyalty, and survival. As Astria uncovers the truth about her existence, she is drawn into an ancient conflict where dangerous alliances shift, hidden secrets surface, and her awakening may determine who ultimately survives and who rules.
BREED THE THIRST is designed for audiences who enjoy supernatural action, vampire mythology, dark fantasy, intense combat, and character driven stories built around powerful worlds and high stakes conflict. The project is positioned to appeal to fans of Underworld, Blade, Interview with the Vampire, and Queen of the Damned. In tone and visual style, BREED THE THIRST combines the high octane faction warfare and cinematic action of Underworld with the gritty pacing and intense combat of Blade. Its mythology and atmosphere draw inspiration from the gothic, dramatic weight of Interview with the Vampire, while Queen of the Damned influences its rebellious energy, seductive darkness, and raw supernatural power. Together, these influences create a dark, cinematic world with its own mythology and identity, one designed to deliver both a commercial blockbuster experience and the potential for an expansive supernatural franchise.
Her journey explores the consequences of awakening to a power that others fear, desire, and may be willing to destroy everything to control.Porscha Lewis · Breed The Thirst
The inspiration behind BREED THE THIRST came from my desire to create a powerful supernatural world centered around identity, family, bloodlines, power, and the choices that define who we become. At the heart of the story is Astria, a woman who has always felt different but must ultimately confront the truth about who and what she is. Her journey explores the consequences of awakening to a power that others fear, desire, and may be willing to destroy everything to control. Now is an exciting time for BREED THE THIRST because audiences continue to embrace bold supernatural storytelling, immersive mythology, strong female characters, and cinematic worlds with franchise potential. The project offers a fresh opportunity to build a new supernatural universe while appealing to audiences who have embraced iconic properties such as Underworld, Blade, Interview with the Vampire, and Queen of the Damned.
BREED THE THIRST is a completed, registered screenplay currently advancing through screenplay competitions and industry opportunities. At this stage, I am seeking the right industry partnerships to help bring BREED THE THIRST to the screen. I am open to discussions regarding development financing, experienced producers, production partnerships, literary representation, a mutually beneficial option agreement, or the right development or acquisition structure. As the creator and writer of BREED THE THIRST, maintaining meaningful creative involvement and protecting the long-term vision of the project are important to me. I am seeking industry partners who not only recognize the commercial potential of the story but who also see the opportunity to build a lasting and expansive supernatural property.
