The Final Shots

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

light_031Wow, what a busy week.

We finished the last of the principal photography for Light earlier this week at a really nice locally-owned pizza parlor I Rigazzi Pizza on Hancock Bridge.  Christian and Danny were excellent as usual.  UFTA President Al Quinn was perfect as the grumpy, Italian Pizza Parlor owner – some fine acting there.  And we had the opportunity to bring Christian and Danny’s real life mothers, Angie and Susan into the background, along with our good friend, Deborah Ford, who was nice enough to let us borrow her camera for the shots below. (with a couple of extra shots from Sue’s phone)  And they even let us eat the pizza!

Now we shift gears into promotion and post-production.  We will be putting the final touches on Marty’s favorite, the one character not yet seen on film, then some second unit work and editing, editing, editing.  Marty’s already working on ideas for the sequel.  We’ll keep everyone updated on the progress of promoting the film as things happen.

Meanwhile, we’re putting the finishing touches on our project for Cape Movie Magic.  Stop by this free concert with local high schools and the Gulf Coast Symphony, playing for the first time in Cape Coral, February 28th, from 11am on at Cultural Park, near City Hall.  Stop by, listen to the music and get your picture taken with one of our movie impersonators:

  • Indiana Jones
  • Queen Amidala
  • Captain Jack Sparrow
  • Eragon
  • Willy Wonka
  • Star Wars Stormtrooper
  • Galadriel, from Lord of the Rings

We’ve also heard rumors that some of the fine men of the Fighting 501st will be joining us for the event.

And we have a second date set for our Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre at the Santa Barbara Clubhouse.  Mark your calendars for March 21, when we perform “Clubhouse Murders.”  More details to come.

In the meantime, enjoy the photos of our fun at I Rigazzi.


Light Wraps Four Months of Shooting

Monday, February 16th, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – February 13, 2009 – CAPE CORAL, FL

Starlight Productions wraps their final phase of shooting the Sci-Fi Thriller, Light, this week, completing nearly four months of principal photography. The final shoot will be Monday, February 19, 2009 at 2:30pm at I Ragazzi Pizza, 159 Hancock Bridge Parkway, Cape Coral.

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 exploit Lucas’ unique situation for their own nefarious ends. Caught in the middle is Jake & Lucas’ science teacher, Mr. Gunther, 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 starsChristian KilianDanny Rawley, Keegan Shayne and long-time character actorRick Michaels.  In creating the film, Starlight Productions committed to utilizing wholly local talent, from the actors and actresses, all the way through 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.

Starlight Productions is a production company that provides live and staged entertainment, celebrity impersonators, science fiction characters, as well as delivering full-service film and video production services, from scripting to shooting, editing, and post-production.

Director Marty Wisher

Light resumed shooting on Sunday, January 4th, back on set at Mr. Tim’s house for everything we didn’t get shot the last time.  A lot of hard work and a little bit of fun, as usual.  A special thank you to Director Marty Wisher and Susan Rawley (also known as Danny’s mom) for the photos, since producer Paul Rose was busy with his sister’s wedding in Fort Lauderdale and couldn’t make it.
