Jonathan Sturak grew up in the snowy Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. He moved to Las Vegas in the summer of 2007 and has been actively creating interesting stories about the exuberance that surrounds him. "A Brush of Darkness" was the second ambitious short he decided to produce from his desk drawer of penned scripts. The mood for the story and directing style came from one of his favorite filmmakers, Roman Polanski, whose chilling films always seem to leave a lasting impression. Jonathan’s next focus is to support the production of one of his feature-length screenplays.
