In the middle of the 20th century, military forces began experimenting with the idea of manipulating the human mind to create the perfect soldier. A soldier that would carry out any act, however heinous, with no forethought or, in some cases, any knowledge of having done the deed at all. However, in our short film "Mr. Moonlight!", the program is turned upside down when one agent, pushed to his limits, goes rogue and disappears without a trace. In order to tie loose ends, a covert operation is begun with the latest “model” of these super soldiers to try and eliminate the rogue agent. In doing so, several innocent lives are dragged into the orbit of an awful tornado of violence, espionage, and deceit. When the dust settles, and the blood washes away, the question remains: was the cost of this experiment worth the lives of good, decent people? Are our human minds so extraordinary as to be used as the supreme weapon against mankind?
This story is something that, when it comes to fruition, can lead to discussion. Discussion about the very reality we REALLY occupy behind closed doors, and the ways in which the powerful people we choose to champion us have used our greatest gift, our own consciousness, against us. To what end will the manipulation go to justify the means? At what point will the victims decide they have had enough? With so much darkness, how do we fight to save the light? In this day and age, seeking the truth is a touchy subject-- but nevertheless, this film has set out to do just that. At its core, "Mr. Moonlight!" is a film that explores the desire to stay good and true, even when evil, deceitful forces are pulling the very strings that make us move through every day.
