ABOUT FLIGHT FROM SHADOW:
Our film’s screenplay by Blake Casselman is based on critical moments from an early chapter of The Eye of the World, first in the epic Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan. BYU professor of literature and renowned author, Brandon Sanderson, finished the book series after Jordan’s death.
The Wheel of 9 Production company formed with executive producer Hraefn Wulfson and coproducer Jennifer McGrew overseeing the film’s extensive preproduction. Our shops designed and crafted the costumes, sets, props, miniatures and practical effects. McGrews donated the workspace as well as funding to purchase the needed fabrics, leathers and costume materials plus lumber and hardware for sets and props construction.
Staff, interns and friends in our creative community donated many hours to create this film. Dedicated, Utah-based filmmakers, actors and technical crew generously gave their time, expertise and equipment to this entire project! You can see the complete cast and crew credits on the film’s IMDB page here.
Our Flight From Shadow rough-cut debuted in February 2013 to excited audiences at Provo’s famous fantasy and speculative fiction literary conference, LTUE (Life, the Universe and Everything).
Our final version of Flight from Shadow debuted on September 6, 2013 at Salt Lake Comic Con, along with … And The Wheel Turned, a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the film.
Both of these films are free for everyone to enjoy and share:)
