Director Statement

The Blacklight is a true independent film. We pulled together any and all resources to make this movie without the backing of a studio, while utilizing only private investor funding. It took many years of building trust with regard to work ethic, integrity, and quality to be able to secure proper funding as well as talent. The project itself has taken over 3 years to complete while constantly working to develop creative ways to continue raising funds to secure proper locations and ensure a high-quality production value. The core cast demonstrated amazing dedication to this project. Almost all of the key characters were cast as they were being developed. We were fortunate to work with and maintain relationships with so many talented actors on other projects that we wrote, directed, and/or produced. You'll see in the performances how every cast member further enhances the storyline behind this supernatural crime-thriller. Those performances augmented by composer Ryan McTear's original score make this a very special movie. The Blacklight is the culmination of our (myself and Don Hatton) dedication and drive to make our debut as feature-filmmakers.
