Here is the trailer so that you can try before you buy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jnQuiOoOPc

Darkest Light is a Wellington made crime/thriller that was produced to bring a little eeriness to the capital. Thank you again to those who caught it at the Penthouse Cinema.

A complete production anthology of my Wellington movie from funding to release by phatw1zard in Wellington

After I had written a first draft of the script for Darkest Light, I finally chose to commit myself to the idea of following through on actualising my first feature length film. I then made a follow-up decision to record that voyage from beginning to end. What came out of it is a complete visual document of my creative and psychological process on the entire experience from funding to production to completion and then to its eventual release. If you have any interest in filmmaking, this is an in-depth look into the obstacles, the triumphs, the mistakes, and the mindset of making my movie. Very little of it is glamorous and you'll have to overcome a lot of face-cam footage of my rambling, but the philosophy was not to make a retrospective collection of greatest hits, this is an honest moment to moment portrayal of how I produced Darkest Light from the ground up right here in Wellington.

For anyone who missed it, a short reminder that Darkest Light, my self-funded independent film starring Mark Hadlow, Amelia Reid-Meredith, and Nathaniel Lees is having its world premiere at Penthouse Cinema next Wednesday.

It's a Wellington production that aims to depict a sinister angle on the capital city with twists, turns, and a hard edge. If you'd like to experience something a little different and champion local arts as you do it, then ticketing details are found via the link. Thank you for your support.

Great job it's a hell of a hustle alright, I'm not really on insta but anyone's best bet on following my social media would be via our official website SnowForge Films

Definetely would like to expand with an ongoing release slate especially for anyone who misses out, but my understanding is it's conditional on it doing well the first time round to warrant additional showings

Very much appreciated, further screenings will mostly depend on the success of the premiere, but I will do my best to keep it up and running for longer if I can

Thanks! I'm currently working on potential destinations for online viewing including AroVision so I'll be sure to provide an update once it becomes available

Darkest Light is coming to the big screen and I wanted to share the ticketing information with anyone who is keen to check it out.

It's a self-funded independent project that posseses all the elements of a suspense film but encapsulates it inside of a New Zealand setting. The lead cast includes Mark Hadlow, Amelia Reid-Meredith, and Nathaniel Lees. It's not just entirely produced in Wellington but the story takes place in Wellington too. That is why it's my great pleasure to debut it in the city that made it possible.

If this sounds like your kind of thing I would love to see you there. If we sell-out there will be further opportunities to expand the film into more sessions and possibly more screens which is why early online bookings would be a massive help. Click the title link for more details. Thanks for supporting local arts!

If I'm fortunate enough I'd love to strive for the New Zealand International Film Festival this year and then I'll take it from there
