In December of 1998, I took a trip to Bucharest, Romania, to shoot the
film Retro Puppet Master.  While there, I took a lot of pictures of the city,
as well as the village of Snagov. Snagov is where Castel Studios is
located, as well as the tomb of Vlad the Impaler, the man who founded
the city of Bucharest and was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's famous
novel Dracula.  I took the opportunity to do some research on
Transylvania's most famous citizen while I was there.
