From the award winning film production company Nine Ladies Film. Don’t Follow the Light is a prequel to the thoroughbred filmmaker’s much-talked-about production concept for Vanished, with which we are already acquainted thanks to its cult following on social media. Here is a smart spin on misadventure and mystery delivered amid a gripping quasi-factual mise en scène. Vanished has already attracted the interest and support of industry professionals.
The prequel – which now seeks funding – pre-empts the story of Gillian Gold, who followers of the plot will know as the ‘Banksy of Journalism’ and a tenacious investigative journalist. The clever Hitchcockian echoes of Don’t Follow the Light are heard amid a succession of unsolved murders and the disappearance of Gold herself. The prequel creates an intelligent backstory that we very easily fall into.
After her visiting a pitiless young woman suspected of murder, maverick journalist Gillian Gold begins her search for the unhealed truths behind a local ghost legend. Soon mysterious and untraceable events take a turn for the worse and Gold finds herself embroiled in powerful, life-changing events.
Don’t Follow the Light introduces the viewer intimately to the mysterious world of the predatory Gold and is overall a supernatural mystery anchored in the real-life darkness of a Derbyshire quarry. The plot, cast and crew are of the calibre for which Nine Ladies Film has so often been praised.
The film stars American actor Nigel Barber (Spectre, MI5) in the role of Dr Williams, Paul Dewdney in the role of Dr Childs, Dilly Smith-Evans as Jessica and Dana O’Kell playing Gillian Gold.
The film is produced by Stuart Wheeldon and Nick John Whittle, and is written and directed by Stuart Wheeldon. Filming is scheduled to start in Derbyshire at the end of June.
