Thanks to the dozens of people who came out and supported Starlight Productions at the premiere of our first feature film, Light!  It was great to get most of the cast reunited and see the reactions from people all across Southwest Florida as the images played out on screen.  If you were one of the few who missed the premiere, check out the great photos John Fernandez took of the event!

The time has finally come! We are proud to announce that Light will be coming to a film screen in Fort Myers, on Monday, August 8, 2011.

This past week, Starlight Productions was contacted by Eric Raddatz of the Fort Myers Film Festival about bringing “Light” to the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center as part of the Film Festival’s popular Summer Intellectualization Mondays.

Mark your calendars for Monday, August 8, 2011, at 6:30pm. Writer/Director Marty Wisher will be joined by Cinematographer & Special Effects Guru Tim Gunderman, along with the movie’s stars: Danny Rawley, Christian Kilian, Mitch Jacobs, and Keegan Shayne, as well as most of the cast at this special premiere.

Host Eric Raddatz will introduce the film and moderate the Q&A following the presentation. For more details, check out the invite on Facebook.  We look forward to seeing you on the red carpet!

Christian Kilian, one of the child stars of our soon to be released independent film, Light, was interviewed by ABC News almost a year ago as part of a story on people who suffer from albinism and the tragedy that afflicts albinos in Africa, where they are killed because of a superstition about magical properties in their skin.  Well, the show is finally going to air on ABC’s 20/20, tonight at 10pm, 9pm Central.  Find more details on ABC’s website, and check your local listings for the episode you don’t want to miss!  Light was written and directed by Marty Wisher.

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 Kilian, Danny 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.
