Nighthawks Short Film
Donation protected
In Nighthawks, a short suspense thriller written & directed by Nolan Dean, an Arab immigrant stalks a waitress after her
late-night shift. In a few terrifying minutes, this film will toy with the emotions and assumptions of our audience, ultimately
leaving them with a chilling and challenging answer to the age-old question, “Who is my neighbor?”
This question has never been more polarizing - or relevant. This film seeks to offer a fresh and dramatic take on this global debate - through the lens of a small, sleepy bluestown.
I am making this film because I believe that what connects us is far more significant than what divides us, and because I believe this place I live in - the Delta - has given me a unique perspective to this conversation, an angle yet unexplored.
If you are interested in seeing this film come to life - please make a contribution. Any amount is welcome. Thank you!
To Victory,
Nolan Dean
