Memory Fragments will take place from October 16-18, 24-25, 31-November 1, 2014.

'LIGHTS OUT' will be shooting October 17-20 in Ashland, OH.

'Lights Out'is about a man named Bruce who is afraid of the dark. While visiting his childhood home left to him in his mother's will, he gets caught in a blackout, forcing him to face the origin of his childish fear.

Breakdown:

George (male 26-35): One of Bruce’s(the protagonist) only friends. He really cares for Bruce, but is too caught up in his own affairs to be proactive about helping him. George is successful and has the typical lawyer attitude and has an impeccable taste in style.

Little Bruce (Caucasian male 9-12): Bruce as a child (about 10 years old) is timid and always walking on eggshells around his mother. He has seen her at her best and seen her at her worst only he doesn't know when she will snap and start screaming at him for a seemingly insignificant mistake.

Bruce's Mother (Caucasian female 26-35): She is a perfectionist, and wants Bruce to be the best. Her house is kept immaculate, portraying her desire for perfection. She is so nice when she is in a good mood(like a fake overly nice) but when she is angry everyone knows it, and she is a monster. The source of this anger is from abuse from her past that she has repressed and only comes out when she is not in control.

Old Wise Man (Caucasian male 60-75): God-like all knowing man, who supports Bruce in his search for inner peace, and gives him his ultimatum to overcome his fear or to let it kill him.
