Blue Light: Haunt My Dreams a short film

"Blue Light: Haunt My Dreams" is about a housewife in the 1950s who is unsure if she is losing her mind, or if she is truly experiencing something from the realm of science fiction. 

We shot the film at the request of the Charm City Fringe Festival.  They saw our web series, "Blue Light," and asked if we could re-invent the web series as a short film, where the film was "interactive," to fall in line with what they were doing with their Nights on the Fringe.

We shot part of the film, and screened it in front of a live audience during Charm City's Nights on the Fringe.  During the screening there were actors staged throughout the theatre, who had emotional breakdowns in their seats.  With the audience unaware that these actors were a part of the performance, the movie started to play.  The staged actors then began to interact with the characters on the screen.  We then filmed the live performance to incorporate into the finished film.

With this project we were excited to get Jessie Pinnick in one of the lead roles.  We had met Jessie at the Maryland Film Festival, where she was promoting "Princess Cyd," where she plays the titular character, Cyd.
