Written and directed by Michael Stokes, The Beacon is the second film produced by Sally Helppie’s Dallas-based Sabbatical Pictures. The Beacon was shot in Waxahachie, Texas in the haunted Rogers Hotel. It was the Best Picture winner at the 2009 Paranoia Film Festival and an official entry into the Burbank International Film Festival. It has secured international distribution with American World Pictures (who re-titled it “Haunting At The Beacon” for foreign sales).
Here’s a synopsis: While trying to get their lives back on track after the loss of their four-year-old son, Bryn (Polo) and Paul Shaw (Snell) move to the charming old Beacon Apartments. Bryn begins seeing a ghostly little boy skulking around the building. With the help of an eccentric young professor and a tough old beat cop, Bryn tries to uncover the details of the boy’s death. She hopes that freeing the child will allow him to carry a message to her son. Too late she realizes a second malevolent entity stalks the halls of the Beacon: one that doesn’t want the boy to escape.
