Side StoriesDistributorCountry: WorldwideRights: All Rights
Kimmo Leed is a Finland-based film director and scriptwriter familiar with various audiovisual styles and genres: drama, documentary and commercial work. He has worked as a professional filmmaker for the past 20 years.
When the Night Falls is a tragically beautiful ballad about trust and finding your own place in a world where staying out of the herd knows certain death. The film bows to the realistic aesthetics of the dystopian films that have shown us people crippled by the struggle for survival caused by the collapse of society. The story depicts a universal longing for touch and understanding, for we know that without others we are nothing.
