An other-worldly threat forces a Priest to flee for his life and seek forgiveness before he is taken to The Lights. Starring Francisco Ortiz & Alex Brandemühl.

A decade ago, Director Julien Zenier traveled through southern U.S. photographing strangers for a project titled Sacred. Over the course of the trip, moments of raw vulnerability, where people opened their heart and shared stories of family, loss, and broken connections, left a lasting impression on Zenier, inspiring him to create To The Lights.

Starring Francisco Ortiz [Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End] & Alex Brandemühl [The German Doctor], and written by Morgan Foye, Zenier wanted to explore the subjectiveness of time, and crafted a narrative that dissolves its boundaries, seamlessly weaving together past, present, and future. Seen through Roman’s (the protagonist) eyes and inner consciousness, the story flows like memory itself: fragmented, fluid, and deeply emotional.

Roman’s journey shows how silence and resentment shape our lives, while forgiveness and redemption have the power to reshape them.

At its core, To The Lights is about family: its invisible bonds, unspoken wounds, and the quiet hope of reconciliation. Despite urgency and inner turmoil, Roman’s path affirms this truth: redemption is always possible, and healing belongs to no single moment.

The film is set to release in Autumn 2025 with festival premieres to be announced.

To the Lights: a psychological thriller coming soon.
