“What if your worst fears become your world, and no one believes a word you say…”, reads the poster headline for this beautifully crafted abstract art film — by Canadian Actor, Filmmaker and Painter Stephen Shellen. With exquisite acting, cinematography and score, arranged in a non-linear narrative, Stephen Shellen weaves a visually stunning, evocative and haunting, depiction of life, for those thrust into the front lines of the battle against the utterly surreal surveillance-state, imposed on America and the world, in the wake of September 11th. If you thought you knew everything the Edward Snowden revelations revealed — you better think again…
A prime target of the intelligence agency complex for well over a decade, Stephen Shellen informs his cinematic tour-de-force, with a wealth of first-hand knowledge of surveillance-state crimes. “The Spark” illuminates these insidious and covert surveillance crimes of unimaginable horror, with a leading actor who is held in absolute possession by his character, and simultaneously, poured every last drop of blood, sweat and tears at his command, into financing and directing this seminal 21st century film. Stephen Shellen is historically best known as a mainstream Hollywood actor — with roles in dozens of major Hollywood productions between 1982–1995. He’s most especially known for his performances in the feature films: “A River Runs Through It”, “The Stepfather”, “American Gothic”, “The Bodyguard” and “Damned River”, as well as, the TV series “Counterstrike” and “La Femme Nikita”. In the year 1995, his life as a successful Hollywood actor, came to a sudden and shocking end, when he and his young children, became the subject of unimaginable surveillance and human trafficking crimes… It was this surreal and horrific juncture, some 23 years ago, that sent Stephen on the trajectory that would lead him to create “The Spark”.
