    Thank you for providing Black Eyes an Honorable Mention for the Gold Star Film Festival. As director and producer on the film MJ Palo is thrilled to report that Black Eyes has been selected by the Venice Film Festival, AOF Film Festival, Hollywood Global Shorts Film Festival, LA Indies Film Festival, and the LA Sun Film Festival.

    Black Eyes is also proud to announce that Nicole Epper star of No Virtue and Narcos is our main lead character as Victoria Sparks who watches her sister raped and murdered. Jasmeet "Jazz" Baduwalia who plays Ravi Shaw, the Blue Ranger in Power Rangers Beast Morphers is also playing the sinister Ryan Gallow in Black Eyes.

    Black Eyes was filmed shortly after Halloween and while filming we used a spooky Jack o’ Lantern that provided flickering candlelight in the background then decided to go with the flow and added a colorful Day Of The Dead mask to cover Jazz’ face. This acted as a great reveal when Nicole pulls off the mask exposing Jazz’ bloody then slashed his throat for using a bat to knock out his wife’s eye.

    Last but not least we used part of the credits to show a public service message to shout out the phone number for the National Domestic Abuse Hotline #1-800-722-SAFE to help provide women who experience domestic abuse at home like my mother did when my father pushed her down the stairs causing a miscarriage of my unborn sister.

    As our main character says... “In order to catch evil you must become the evil you must catch.” This quote becomes the heart and soul of Black Eyes.

    Thank you again for honoring 👀 Black Eyes 👀
