An independent film project using cinematic storytelling to explore identity, transformation, and emotional depth.
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES — Independent filmmaker Salomon Ava and the DARKLIGHT creative team have launched their campaign on Seed&Spark to bring their visually ambitious short film to life. DARKLIGHT is an independent project focused on exploring identity, transformation, and emotional depth through cinematic storytelling.
Set against a stark night-to-dawn backdrop, DARKLIGHT follows a wounded man navigating a symbolic and curated environment that reflects fractured identity and self-confrontation. Through performance, production design, and atmosphere, the film communicates meaning through visuals rather than exposition.
The project is driven by a shared artistic vision among the creative team, aiming to produce a controlled, immersive, and emotionally resonant film experience. DARKLIGHT emphasizes themes of masculinity, memory, and the cost of transformation, using minimal dialogue and strong visual language.
Funds raised through the Seed&Spark campaign will be used for key production and post-production elements, including location setup, custom production design, wardrobe, equipment rentals, color grading, and sound design. The project is currently in pre-production, with filming and
post-production scheduled within the upcoming months.
