Dark Around the Stars

Dark Around the Stars is a character-driven drama directed by Derrick Borte, filmed on location in New Mexico. The screenplay, written by Mark Kassen, was notable enough to land on the 2005 Black List — Hollywood's closely watched annual survey of the industry's best unproduced screenplays — years before the film finally came together on screen. The cast includes Tom Bower, Dale Dickey, Kathryn Hahn, and Illeana Douglas.

halflife* edited the film and handled all post-production apart from audio, shaping a script that had already earned respect within the industry long before cameras rolled — a reminder that some of the best stories take the long road to the screen, and halflife* is built to help them get there.
