The Last Rays of Sunlight Before Dawn

A film by Tim Hamalainen & Tomi Brotherus

In one long night in Helsinki, a man slips out of the hospital and wanders through the city, meeting strangers who each awaken something in him he thought had gone quiet. What begins as a solitary walk becomes a deeply human journey about connection, memory, and the small moments that teach him how to open himself to life again.

A chance encounter brings Aamod, an international playboy, and Nadia, a hard-driving lawyer, together for a magical day in Chicago — forcing Aamod to grapple with whether he can let go of a tragic secret and embrace a future with her.

For writers

If you have the script, we want to read it.

Send a query letter with a brief synopsis — one paragraph to one page. Please don't send full scripts unless requested; unsolicited scripts won't be opened or read.

Right now we're especially hoping to find that powerful, edgy script with minimal locations — like Memento, Bound, or Rear Window. Even better if it makes us laugh.

If we request a script, it will likely be read by members of our company, professional readers, and our advisors.

What we're looking for

  • Thrillers — edgy, film noir (à la Memento)
  • Dark comedies
  • Off-beat comedies (à la Napoleon Dynamite)
  • Strong plots
  • Characters worth following
Not currently looking for period pieces.
