Solstice Blu-ray

Hey Blu-Ray Maniacs!

I wanted to share news regarding the 25th Anniversary Restoration of my holiday drama "Solstice", dropping December 15th. The film was painstakingly restored in 2K from the original camera negative and features a newly recorded orchestral score performed by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra. I just launched the crowdfunding pre sale campaign since I'm self distributing it in a limited edition of 500 replicated BD50 discs. You can find out more and support us here:

Synopsis:

"For some people, the coldest, loneliest night of the year falls on Christmas Eve. "Solstice" tells the story of one of those people, Nick Allman, a disillusioned young man who has lost touch with the true spirit of the holidays. Set in Chicago on Christmas Eve, it follows his day from morning till midnight as he encounters a variety of characters who help renew his belief in a season where everyone's expectations run high.

From a bittersweet confrontation with his ex-girlfriend to the wise counseling of a friend, Nick is unable to resolve the emptiness he feels even when faced with a multitude of others making the best of the holiday at hand. Faced with a cynicism he can't seem to shake, midnight finds Nick inadvertantly ending up in a church where he is prompted into realizing from the pastor's sermon that the events of the last 24 hours have been the culmination of what he only imagined was missing- the spirits of faith, goodwill and understanding. After an emotional epiphany, Nick must reconcile issues within himself so that he will be able to face the new day not only with a renewed sense of optimism for himself, but all mankind."

Here's a special peek at a shorter version of the 48 bonus documentary on the Blu-Ray that was shown at our anniversary screening last December:

We've won several festival awards this year including "Best Score" for the new soundtrack and the disc features 236 minutes of material!

Thanks for your support and to those who remember it, enjoy and to people who haven't, I hope you'll take a chance on discovering it anew.

Sincerely,

Jerry Vasilatos
