Old School Productions proudly presents Episode Two of “The Blood Crystal” A Star Wars Story fan film written and directed by filmmaker Dark Hoffman of Frankenmuth, Michigan.

“The Blood Crystal” is an episodic fan film consisting of three short films based on the Star Wars universe created by George Lucas. This is a story of one Jedi, one Sith and the adventures they take searching for the one, all powerful “Blood Crystal” that will change their lives and the universe forever…

The production was shot entirely in Bridgeport and Vassar, Michigan. Producers Gary Trinklein, Jeff Swerdan and nearly all 100+ cast and crew members are also from Michigan.

Sets and costumes are elaborate, props are realistic and the production includes visual and sound effects that fans of all ages have come to love and expect in a Star Wars film. “The Blood Crystal” promises to bring plenty of space battle action, light saber fights and other twists and turns packed with excitement as secrets are unveiled in the eternal struggle between The Light Side and The Dark Side.

Hoffman wanted to combine the “old school” feel of using real miniatures along with state of the art visual effects and graphics to immerse viewers into a true Star Wars experience. He is an accomplished visual effects artist in the film industry and has over 100 television and film credits to his name including “Thor,” “300,” “Narnia” and “Riddick.” Dark states, “As part of the healing process in my battle against stage 4 head and neck cancer, I decided focus my attention on something creative, positive and a project that I am passionate about. My goal has always been to channel my love for Star Wars into making “The Blood Crystal” the best fan film ever made!”
