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 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.
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.

Prest hits the pool
From Director Marty Wisher: What a blast this weekend has been. We spent two full days filming the teen pool party scene. The kids were awesome. The weather was a tad cooler than we’re used to. But they were troopers about removing their jackets before the cameras started rolling.
Big kudos to Seth Billig (who plays Prest) for his willingness to be “knocked” into the pool (An icy 50-55 degrees). Of course, we had several takes. And I think the kids got a kick out of just hanging out after the filming. Munching, video games, and shooting archery with Ray.
Thanks to Sue Rawley for the majority of the photos – shot in “Sports Mode,” so we got all the action!

Marty Explaining a Scene
Well, another very productive day of shooting down. Only a couple more scenes to go and we’ll be hitting the post-production hard. Only minor hitches today, including a little early morning carpet cleaning we had to work around. Excellent work from all of our teen stars, including the Wisher kids. We’ll pick up the rest of the scenes tomorrow. Enjoy the photos posted below:

From Director Marty Wisher: Today was such a fun day on the set. A bit too cold for us Floridians though (anything under 70 is deemed freezing).
But since we continue today’s scene in a few weeks the actors had to dress for our usually delightful warm weather. They were such pros at adjusting to all the necessary script changes (location change, character change, script change – but that’s show biz!)
Mitch (who plays CD) gave us one of our best bloopers today. The scene opens in the middle of a conversation. The conversation has the characters of Will & Kevin arguing over who is the hottest assistant in Doctor Who (they’ll also reference some other of my faves – Stargate: Atlantis, Primeval, and Lost) Anyway, for those who don’t know Dr. Who (shame on you) the choice is between the characters Rose and Martha.
Well, while rehearsing the scene, Mitch says “Martha. That’s a name for old ladies!”
I slowly removed my sunglasses and stated “You know that Marty is my nickname. Right? Short for Martha…” He went pale. The kids burst into laughter. Mitch buries his head in his arms.
Tim (Director of Photography) pipes up, “You are so not being asked to do the sequel.”
We all look at Tim and realize the camera was on the whole time. Mitch turns beet red and the laughter continues.
Can’t wait to see what happens at the next shoot.
Thanks to Chris Terrill at Oasis High School for allowing us to borrow some school-logo-ed items for the shoot. And thanks to Sue Rawley for the photos.

Today we continued filming. Chalane was so sweet in allowing Joey to take a role. And many thanks to his therapist getting him prepared for the part. “Jake. Max. Bye-bye.”
Since one of the scenes shot today was a dinner scene at character Jake’s home, Marty thought she’d cook enough for everyone at the set. Sounds simple enough. Have to feed them anyway.
So, as the crew is running around adjusting lights, props, etc. Someone asks “What’s that burning smell?”
From Marty – “I have no idea how it happened! I’ve boiled water and pasta before (Chalane begs to differ). It was a huge pot. The kind to feed an army. And – oh maybe I put 5 or 6 packages of noodles in. But it certainly should not have turned black and had smoke curls billowing out of it. For those who don’t believe me, it will end up in one of the scenes as Paul (who plays Joe) walks in, pulls the noodles up- dark charcoal side to the camera and ad-libs, “I guess we’ll be ordering take out tonight”
Good thing that the chocolate cake was from the Publix bakery.

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.
