Hi!! We are Jonah, Jeremy, and Brian -- a director, actor and writer -- childhood friends who have been creating together ever since.
Our project The Dark Age is a short film that picks up five years after a catastrophic solar storm destroys the global power grid, plunging humanity into darkness. It follows two women from a survival colony, as they track down an electronic signal they've discovered, leading to a deranged loner who will stop at nothing to protect his mysterious power supply. It's a gritty thriller that examines our addiction to power and confronts the real life consequences.
Our above video is a vibe reel that conveys the world/tone/feel of our short film. It features Jeremy Dash, the lead actor of our short, and it was shot at the location we plan to shoot our film.
From a filmmaking standpoint, our intentions are to tell a gripping and suspenseful story with a looming threat that sustains until the bitter, bloody end. A film that is visually evocative and visceral with grounded characters who must fight to survive. Fortunately, creating effective suspense and tension does not require a sizable budget. What it requires is a thoughtful and meticulous approach to storytelling, the craft of filmmaking, and the power of performance. These are expertise that we collectively bring to the table. However, producing a film still takes money.
We’re scheduled to film in December and although we’re self-financing the project, we still need support for post-production costs to make the film the best it can be. We appreciate and welcome any contributions!!
