Night for Day
Storyline
New York City at night is the perfect mask when you need to disguise yourself from the day. Vincent is a guitar player. He has played his music in obscurity, in the dark his whole life, too afraid to take a chance on being more… too afraid to reveal his true self to anyone. There is a reason… To step out of those shadows and unveil his bond to the occult, underworld society of sex, murder and addiction that has sustained him…would mean his life. But then Vincent meets Laura, a beautiful, young woman, unlike any he has ever met. She doesn’t know the reality of his deadly secret life and offers him love for the first time. For once, Vincent realizes he can choose his destiny. Laura’s chance at a “normal” life waits for Vincent at daybreak but he will have to survive the night to reach her. On his journey to the sunrise he is hunted down by Vanessa, a deadly and mysterious woman who looks to avenge the hidden sins of Vincent’s past. Along the way, as well, Vincent is tempted back into the world he is racing to leave behind by Derrick, the charismatic leader of the ancient criminal circle that has protected him his whole existence. To make it from the twilight to the dawn Vincent must face his fear and be willing to pay the ultimate price in the sunlight for one true moment of love.—Russ Camarda

Digging through the old drives
15 years ago – the second feature film I directed
“Night for Day”
Co-written with my friend Linda Hanson shot by my buddy Sean Quincy King with music by the amazing Vincent Nigro
i’m still very proud of it after all these years.!
A love story with a vampire twist… (written before the twilight series came out.)
Went into a few festivals, Never went anywhere… No distribution.
Haven’t seen it in probably 10 years .Opened it up and …I liked it… I know …Crazy
..obviously things I would change or fix now, but that’s how it was then.. and so I’ll leave it as is.
Here’s the scene where the lead character is forced to make the choice that propels him through the rest of the film..
What do you guys think? Should I put the whole film up on YouTube for you?
