FEATURE FILM IN DEVELOPMENT:
UNCLOUDY DAY is dark yet uplifting Southern Gothic fairytale about a budding romance between a mixed raced schoolteacher (Maria) and a white widower (Earl) disrupted by the arrival of an otherworldly vaudeville diva (Mimi).
Heavy on music, melodrama, and supernatural thrills, the film takes place in a 1930s Alabama that never was, and is an homage to early "talkie" movies of that era -- the natural progression for filmmaker Milford Thomas after his critically acclaimed silent featurette CLAIRE . A period story presented in period style.
Though the production’s approach is rooted in the 1930s with its heightened acting, rich black-and-white cinematography, and in-camera effects, the story is infused with a modern sensibility revealing perspectives of a narrative never seen in films from that era.
UNCLOUDY DAY provides a place at the table for everyone and encourages all who experience it to affirm the message: listen to the song in your heart, and pray for the courage to sing it.
