Scott Leberecht began his career as a visual effects art director, having worked on such films as SLEEPY HOLLOW and SPAWN. His feature directorial debut, MIDNIGHT SON, is making its world premiere at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, CA on March 4. A new poster for the film has been released; check it out below along with the trailer. Here is the breakdown:
MIDNIGHT SON is a dark, character-driven drama that plays on horror themes in an understated, subtle way. The story centers on Jacob, a young man grappling with a dramatic physical transformation. No matter how much he eats, he suffers from malnutrition. To his disgust, he finds the blood in his steak packaging more satisfying than the steak itself. Something is changing inside him. When romance sparks with a young woman named Mary, he wrestles with the monster he’s becoming while desperately trying to keep his new craving a secret.
The indepedent film is executive produced by THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT co-creator Eduardo Sanchez. It stars Zak Kilberg, Maya Parish, Jo D. Jonz and Larry Cedar (THE CRAZIES). More information on the picture can be found on its official website.
