Lightning Bug

Bret Harrison of ´GROUNDED FOR LIFE´ stars as Green Graves, a frustrated teen with a gift for creating grisly special effects who dreams of escaping his small Alabama town for a job making monsters in Hollywood. His dream may even be in reach when Mr. Tightwiler (Bob Penny of ´SWEET HOME ALABAMA´) hires Green to design the community´s annual Halloween spook house and he falls in love with equally misunderstood local girl Angevin Duvet (Laura Prepon of ´THAT ´70S SHOW´).But there are real monsters in his way, including the abusive stepfather (Kevin Gage of ´HEAT´) who terrorizes his struggling mother (Ashley Laurence of ´HELLRAISER´), the fanatical church group who attack his work, and Angevin´s own shocking secret that may destroy their happiness together.

Hal Sparks (´QUEER AS FOLK´), Lucas Till (´WALK THE LINE´) and Josh Todd of Buckberry co-star in this award-winning - and semi-autobiographical - independent sensation that marks the writing/directing debut of Robert Hall, special effects makeup designer for ´DEAD BIRDS´, ´BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER´, and ´ANGEL´.
