IMDFilms Distribution, with sales and distribution expertise
provided by MVD Entertainment Group, will be bringing writer/director Shawn Justice’s
faith based drama, Out of Darkness, to the DVD market place on Jan. 17.
Indie filmmaker Shawn Justice utilizes to good effect his
familiarity with the rugged forest terrain on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon
for this symbolically-laced story of a young man named Eli (Adam Elliott Davis),
who has returned from a tour of duty and has now lost his way.
He has rejected a calling that has haunted
him since his teens, fights with his father to the point of being fired from
his job and then turns on his girlfriend (they have a daughter together). This day of anger is topped off with a round
of drinks at the local roadhouse.
Can it get any worse?
Certainly, his anger controls him — the early scenes really establish him
as something of an ass; rude; out of control — and the rage and alcohol on this
particular day lead him to a lonely highway where he loses control of his
pickup and totals it. Lost in the
woods, he has a series of encounters, including with a forest ranger (John
Lewis) and a man known simply at Gabe (Graham Greene). Are these people even real?
Lost, hurt and alone, each has a “vision” for him and his
task is to sort out who is trying to help him and who is seeking to lead him
astray; a battle between good and evil literally plays out in this wilderness
with Eli as the “everyman” who must find the true path; God’s path.
