BEACONS OF LIGHT WEBSITE LAUNCHED
We just launched the website for Beacons of Light: New York Illuminated. I started shooting this film in 2007 covering New York City's five boroughs during an especially cold and windy winter.
I learned very quickly that even short filmstock such as Super 8, which is what this movie was shot on, was going to be extremely expensive. Paying the lab as I went along and forgetting the cost the second I left with the film in my arms, I managed to capture the following:
114 locations
9 bridges
2 states
14 parks
28 neighborhoods
12 clocks
15 Broadway Marquees
20 Landmarks
"I WALK THE LINE"
The choice to use Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line" was the first and only choice for the film and I'm honored and grateful to have had the chance to work so effortlessly with Sun Entertainment and Bug Music to license it.
THANK YOU
Hopefully this movie will take an interesting journey and who sees it will be as rejuvenated by the city as I was. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to discover this spectacular town again.
Thank you for reading my first thoughts on making this film and I hope you'll return as I record the trip it takes, whatever the length and wherever it may lead.
Looking forward to writing back soon-
Heather Rose
