I have always been a fan of old Noir films. The lighting, the contrast, the night and an interesting crime story make up the ingredients to an artistic visual . One day, I decided to test my abilities in this classic genre, but as an independent artist, with limited rsources, no ties to any major production company, and without any significant funds or investors, it would be a real challenge to make it. All I had was a vision, a small loyal crew, devoted actors, LOTS of creativity and endurance, and well, here you have it. . Enjoy!
