DO NOT POST ANSWERS TO QUESTION REGARDING THIS COMPETITIONFounded in 2006 by film producer/director/writer Courtney Solomon and real estate and textile financier Allan Zeman, After Dark Films is a leader in independent film finance, production and acquisition of genre films for theatrical release.
After Dark is perhaps best known for its creation and execution of After Dark Horrorfest® – 8 Films to Die For® (
www.horrorfestonline.com). Debuting in 2006, After Dark Horrorfest ® is a one week national film festival that celebrates all areas of the horror genre. In its first year, Horrorfest became the first film festival in history to break into the Top 10 at the US national box office, grossing over $2.5 million. Additionally, Horrorfest has attained popular success beyond the box office with over 1.6 million DVDs currently in circulation through distribution partner Lionsgate.
After Dark's initial film release was the US box office success An American Haunting (2006), written, directed and produced by Courtney Solomon. An American Haunting opened at the #2 spot on the US box office charts, and maintained its position for four weeks.
Subsequent releases include The Abandoned; Skinwalkers, starring Jason Behr, Rhona Mitra and Matthew Knight; Captivity, starring Elisha Cuthbert and directed by Oscar-nominee Roland Joffe (The Killing Fields), and Frontier(s), directed by Xavier Gens (Hitman). Building upon the success of Horrorfest®, After Dark Films developed a second series in partnership with Syfy and Lionsgate entitled, After Dark Originals, "A New Brand of Fear", which debuted in late 2010.
