A girl's disappearance could be linked to strange lights from the stars in Dark Encounter, the latest otherworldly film from writer/director Carl Strathie. With Dark Encounter coming to DVD and Digital on January 7th, we caught up with Strathie to discuss the importance and attention to detail of setting his film in 1983, the cinematic influences that inspired him while making Dark Encounter, and the team effort it took to get the film across the finish line.
Thanks for taking the time to catch up with us, Carl, and congratulations on Dark Encounter! How and when did you get the idea for this film?
Carl Strathie: Thank you very much! The idea for Dark Encounter came in fragmented pieces over many years. I guess it started with my childhood fascination with UFOs and aliens. I used to have countless UFO books and various "caught on tape" VHS series, which I used to obsess over.
