We just got the official synopsis of our good friend KM Jamison’s new movie “The Dead Light District“. Kevin brought us a dark, grim, yet realistic tale “Serial: Amoral Uprising” last year, and is currently in pre-production for this latest. Teaming up this time around with “All Night Pictures, INC, this one looks to be another slick production. With a great cast so far, (and maybe even yours truly thrown in there), this is looking to be a great film so far. Check out the synopsis and links below!
Based out of modern day Chicago, the Dead Light District is an independent true crime thriller that will be produced in the same spirit of classic crime films such as Maniac, The Midnight Meat Train, Zodiac and The New York Ripper while having the production value and story telling aspects inspired by directors such as David Fincher, James Wan & Martin Scorsese.
The Dead Light District tells the story of 27 year old Jonah Sharp (Christopher Howell), a former award winning crime journalist in Chicago desperately searching for a way to save his failing career from an early and unexpected retirement. After being fired from the Chicago Tribune for a number of reasons Jonah is forced to take employment writing a celebrity sleaze column, a job that begins to slowly eat away at his pride and self-esteem.
In an effort to regain his own recognition as a true crime journalist Jonah accepts an unlikely assignment given to him to seek out information regarding a string of gruesome murders being reported around the Red Light District, a desolate part of the city that serves as a haven for criminal activity. An assignment that serves as a life changing event for Jonah when he becomes witness to the brutal homicide of a prostitute who is murdered by the same psychopath responsible for all of the prior killings being discovered around the Red Light District. Things go from bad to worse for Jonah after suddenly receiving a gift from an anonymous “fan”. An unusual gift that lands him face to face with the only one capable of saving his career by any means necessary.
