Earthshine and Night Glow are 2 new movies by film maker Theresa Eschbacher. I met Theresa about 2, almost 3 years ago while she had been attending film school in Los Angeles. Wow! time has surely flown by. Theresa and I met through a mutual friend from Berlin, who I actually happen to be represented by. Ms. Eschbacher dove into the art of film making 3 years ago and has not skipped a beat. She graduated this year from school and is crowdfunding for her 2 debut films entitled, Earthshine and Night Glow.

Earthshine, is the first project that was filmed on location in Theresa’s home country of Austria. A fictional story based on true events of an influx of refugees migrating into the country of Austria in 2015. Theresa’s explains she was fortunate to film stories that touched her deeply. Theresa wants to bring this film to the forefront and put it out in the world to highlight the film and the Syrian cast and crew members who worked hard to bring this movie to life.

Night Glow is a much smaller project shot with just 2 people in one room. The film focuses and explores relationships beyond the surface. “I believe small stories are just as important and just as valuable”, explains Ms. Eschbacher.
