We are delighted to announce that FIND THE LIGHT has been selected to premiere at the BIFA qualifying Manchester Film Festival, on the 16th of March 2022.
The film stars GEORGE MACKAY, CRAIG MCGINLAY, RHYS STONE, SEEMA BOWRI, AMERJIT DEU, and introduces 16-year-old JAYSOL DOL.
The story follows a victimized boy who decides to confront his inner demons by drowning himself, and during the process finds purpose and meaning.
Our selection to this esteemed festival would not have been possible were it not for the selfless dedication of our entire cast and crew:
