Dark Energy

Dark Energy has been selected to play at the Utah Film Festival, Saturday October 1st at the Towne Hub in American Fork UT.

Dark Energy circles around book club friends contemplating life, religion, and existence in this dark comedy about just how far women will go to protect one another.

Director Christy Summerhays began her directing career in Opera and Theatre but her interest in film quickly moved her into studying film and experimenting with her own secret projects, which she would show no one… until now! This is Christy’s official narrative short film directorial debut. She has directed commercials (she even won the Utah Film Commision’s commercial contest!) and industrial films and continues her work directing in theatre. She is finishing up another short film, “Silent Cricket”, which she wrote and produced as well as co-directed.

The film stars Colleen Baum, Lauren Call, Tiffani Di Gregorio, and Tamari Dunbar.

The talented crew consists of producer Tyson Call, writer Javen Tanner, sound by Ryan Sevy, editing by Michael Dejohn, and color correction by Alek Sabin.
