CURRENTLY IN PRE-PRODUCTION

Directed by Eric Stanze.

Wicked Pixel Cinema is currently working on the new feature film STOPLIGHT. To raise funding for this project, we are offering pre-orders of the STOPLIGHT Blu-ray. All pre-ordered Blu-rays will arrive two weeks before the official street date! Thank you for supporting independent film!

Synopsis:
Sam Carter's Pennsylvania to Arizona road trip is turned upside down when a troubled, terrified woman bolts from an alleyway, directly in front of his car. What could have been a tragic ending instead becomes the beginning of a fascinating journey for Amber Bedloe, who joins Sam for a cross-country road-trip odyssey. Pummeled by hardship her entire life, Amber uses the road trip to confront the darkness and violence of her past. She finally braves an unflinching look into herself - striving for bright horizons while descending uncontrollably into madness.
