Back in December we told you about Scottish Writer/Director Fraser Coull‘s “overactive imagination” which he parlayed into creating his own production company, Silly Wee Films, which is developing a feature film that he wrote, entitled Night is Day – The Movie, which is based on Coull’s self-funded online sci-fi webseries, Night is Day.
Now, Fraser and his merry band of overactive imagineers want to take the film to the American Film Market in November to seek distribution. Check out the new teaser trailer below, and find out how you can help Fraser get one step closer to getting his film on the big-screen and get a credit at the end of the film for your help!

Synopsis:
Night Is Day – The Movie
“Jason Mackenzie (Chris Summers) is a twenty-something Glaswegian who spends his days keeping his city safe, using the powers bestowed on him by a demon. Against a backdrop of vibrant nightlife, cultural wonder and the realities of urban existence, Jason has battled ancient demons and hooded cults, corrupt businessmen and ASBO teens, risking his safety and sacrificing his chances of genuine human connections.
Jason Mackenzie has become a hidden hero; a rumour, an urban myth.
Superintendent Charles Sloan (John Gaffney) is a veteran in the police force who knows the truth behind the whispered tales. He has had his own encounters with supernatural entities, demons and vampires, and knows first-hand the work of the ‘lightning vigilante’.
Now there is a new danger in the city: the Caillech, an ancient creature portrayed in legend as wielding an unstoppable hammer, bent on wreaking havoc after centuries of exile. Teamed with a former adversary of Jason’s (Tam Toye), whose phony contrition has many fooled, the Caillech is a formidable threat to the peace Jason struggles to maintain.
In Night Is Day: The Movie, Jason must focus all his powers on discovering the Caillech’s intentions and defeating her before she decimates his city. He must ensure the safety of DCI Sloan and his team, who are determined to play their part in helping Jason despite the increased danger they face as mere humans. And he must find out what’s so important about Lena, a medical student he saved from a vicious attack, and who seems to have an uncanny connection with the Caillech.”
Starring Chris Summers, Tam Toye, John Gaffney, Steven McEwan, Alexandra Mackenzie, Karen Bartke, Vharri Lavery and written by Fraser Coull. Produced by Lindsay Dowell and Gavin Orr. Co-produced by Andrew Dougall and supported by Artist Media Ltd.
