FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – FORT MYERS, FL – DECEMBER 15, 2008 -
Starlight Productions wraps their first phase of shooting the Sci-Fi Thriller, “Light,” this week, completing two months of principal photography, before going on Christmas break.
“Light” is set in the not too distant future and centers around a Lucas, boy born with hypopigmentation (Oculocutaneous albinism) who discovers that along with his rare appearance, his birth also granted him developing “super powers” that aid him and his genius best friend, Jake in navigating the often troubled waters of high school. Unfortunately, as with many gifts, there are those who desire to explot Lucas’ unique situation for their own nefarious ends. Caught in the middle is Jake & Lucas’ science teacher, Mr. Gunder, a former defense contractor, who has a unique understanding of the value of Lucas’ powers.
“Light” is written and directed by local actor-writer Marty Wisher and stars Christian Kilian, Danny Rawley, Keegan Shayne and long-time character actor Rick Michaels. In creating the film, Starlight Productions is committed to utilizing wholly local talent, from the actors and actresses, all the way through Director of Photography, post-production, special effects and crew. Many of the talent pool was drawn from the local chapter of United Film & Television Artists (UFTA)
The work on “Light” has also caught national attention, due to a growing problem of mistreatment of people with hypopigmentation in Third World countries.
