BLACK OASIS THE MOVIE
Shut Out, Left Alone, Which Way Will Emily Turn?
A lot can happen over 24 hours, especially in the life of one hurting teenager named Emily (Amber Brooke Wallace). Once a Daddy's girl, Emily tries to connect one last time with her divorced father (Mark Oliver) who has moved on with a new wife and child. Emily is left alone to care for her bitter, struggling mother (Rhoda Griffis). Her life-long friend and soul mate, Christine (Susanna Lewis), tries to help, but her allegiances are split over new friends. But now Emily has a mysterious new friend, Amber (Mary Cobb), who seems to understand her better than anyone. Together they tempt death seeking a new home that exists only in the life on the other side of death. BLACK OASIS tells an authentic, dark and cautionary story of the forces that pull at today's teenagers and their families, and the conflicting choices presented in everyone's life and faith.
A powerful, award winning film now available on DVD.
"Everything about this film works. Excellent Overall."
"BLACK OASIS is a brilliantly directed short movie featuring a dark, rebellious, negative teenager who is influenced by a very evil young girl. BLACK OASIS is a complex, yet compelling, cautionary tale with a strong Christian worldview. The Gospel is presented, but rejected. The ending has what might be a slight glimmer of hope, but it is uncertain. Everybody does well in this short. The dialogue and the script have a fine edge to them.
