Synopsis/Details
“Darkness Never Fades” is written along the lines of films such as “Fallen” and “It Follows.” The story is about a struggling writer named DEBRA and her daughter MIA whom she hasn't seen since a small child. In an effort to have a relationship  they embark on a RV trip, however, unknown to Debra, Mia is claustrophobic making the situation even more strained.  Along the way, whilst stopping Debra witnesses sinister happenings, announcing the arrival of a 'presence' she thought was long gone.  Both Debra and Mia must put past history behind them and coexist if they are to have a chance of survival. The resulting confrontation makes Debra question her own sanity. With a very limited cast and locations, I believe the riveting tension, suspense and the high stakes in “Darkness Never Fades” will appeal to a very wide audience.
