Press Release: (New York City, September 23rd 2009)

FangShop is a reality TV show and documentary series inspired by LA / Miami Ink, Pimp my Ride and Taxicab Confessions.  Yet, instead of featuring tattoo artists we will be exploring the customers of Father Sebastiaan’s fangsmithing business SABRETOOTH.

Filming started in September 2009 in Paris and planned locations of filming will include the Sabretooth Emporium at the Halloween Adventure Shop in New York City, Osaka Japan, Zagreb Croatia, Berlin, Amsterdam, London and New Orleans.

Sebastiaan’s profession is known as “Fangsmithing” and are professionals who work on making custom made fangs.  This term coined by the Fangsmith Maven in the late 1990s has become synonymous with this art.

The show will be focusing on the diversity of people who obtain fangs from SABRETOOTH and their stories.  The clients range from computer programmers, musicians, DJs, artists, dancers, porn stars, pinup girls, tattoo artists, body piercers, body mechanics, burlesque dancers, burners (Burning Man people), moms, dads, lawyers, drag queens, etc.

Sebastiaan considers his work to be not only a form of art, but a profound experience unlocking childhood dreams, primal natures and intense experiences.  He has described his fangs as the ultimate sex toy, a great conversation breaker and the best Halloween costume possible.

The first episode is currently in production and each episode will be 23 minutes, available with previews on Sabretooth’s YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/fathersebastiaan) and downloads from ITunes.  Expect the first episodes to be available in February 2010.

If you are interested in being filmed for FangShop please email the director Rafaela at Rafaela@sabretooth.com or Father Sebastiaan at Father@sabretooth.com.  We are also looking for professional correspondents and film crew interested in getting involved in locations we are not able to film personally.
