Shot in three days with a crew of two by writer, producer, director and cinematographer Jarno Lee Vinsencius, the short film Darkness Falls, (Morkret Faller) takes us to places even the most avid science fiction fan could not have imagined. Winner of the award for "Best Cinematography" at Roswell Film Festival and "Best Sci-Fi Short" at the Outlanta Con Film Fest," the film opens in a gorgeously filmed snow-covered forest. A young woman, Melissa (Joanna Haggblom), wakes up in a snow-covered forest with no recollection of how she got there. After running from the scene and checking into a remote motel, she receives an urgent note from someone named David (Demis Tzivis) who she doesn't know telling her that he knows exactly what is happening and asks her to meet him in a furtive location.
As Melissa slowly begins to remember who and where she is, the tension completely grips the viewer and doesn't let go until the final reveal. Though the acting can be wooden and some of the dialogue (especially that of the motel caretaker) does not fit into the mood of the film, the experience is so engrossing and well put together that the objections become irrelevant and the film stands as a first-rate thriller and hopefully a career boost for the first-time director.
