THE TALL DARK MAN
writer / director / editor - 2025 - 15min
At her wits' end, Natalie turns to local legend and summons a mythical hit man known only as The Tall Dark Man to dispatch with her blackmailing ex. When the murder goes horribly awry, she becomes the target of the very evil she summoned.
THE TALL DARK MAN is a comic thriller film with a supernatural twist that will be seen at film festivals in 2025 and acts as a proof of concept for a feature film (screenplay available upon request).
A crew of top notch Bay Area craftspeople from such films as DIDI and ANT-MAN came together in Petaluma, CA to bring the film to life. Ashleigh Morghan (Head Count) and Aion Boyd (The Wild West Chronicles) starred in the lead roles, and cinematographer Evan Weidenkeller shot the film beautifully on an ARRI Alexa Mini with Matthew McGuire, Courtney Coker and Alex Mallonee producing for Covert Ops Films.
