The Story
The film "Black Veins" delivers a powerful message regarding the inescapability of the consequences of one's choices, particularly emphasizing how the quest for belonging can lead to being entangled in destructive and unforgiving circumstances. As Quinn's journey illustrates, even a desire to be part of a family or something bigger can lead to tragic outcomes and profound regret. At its core, the film serves as a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of loyalty to a criminal lifestyle, the irreversible damage it can inflict on relationships, and the quest for redemption that may come too late.
WRITTEN, DIRECTED, AND PRODUCED BY SEAN ANTONIO LALLY "WHEN THE DUST SETTLES" IS A FILM ABOUT A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WHO ARE FLEEING A VIOLENT ORGANIZATION THAT USES CHILDREN FOR MILITARY PURPOSES. THIS FILM SHOWCASES THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE A PARENT HAS WHEN PUT UP AGAINST AN EVIL FORCE.
“Scars on the mountain” Documentary.
From director Christopher Pike comes Scars on the Mountain, a raw and unflinching documentary told entirely through the voices of survivors. When Hurricane Helene stalled over North Carolina’s Appalachian Mountains, thirty feet of water and more than 250 landslides cut Yancey County off from the outside world.
Filmed with exclusive access and months embedded in the community, Scars on the Mountain captures not only the shock of the storm’s arrival, but the enduring aftermath that reshaped the lives of survivors. What emerges is a visceral portrait of loss, resilience, and the quiet strength that lingers when the floodwaters recede—but the scars remain.
Sean Antonio Lally, was brought in to this project as one of the editors for “Scars On The Mountain”. He was also involved in the months of preparation and production during this film. This will be his first feature film documentary as a post production editor.
