Jason
Contino was born in the late seventies outside of the city of brotherly
love. Not including the dozens of claymation shorts and kung- fu films
made with his grade school friends, Midnight Sun marks his
directorial debut. Jason attended Towson University in Towson, Maryland
where he received his bachelor’s degree in film, and where he
met co-conspirator Robert Harari. You can usually find Jason setting
lights or working camera on various productions in the Philadelphia,
Lancaster, and Baltimore areas as well as doing PA work for NFL Films.
The Puzzle was the first independent project that Jason Contino
and Robert Harari worked on together, and after a two year hiatus, they
decided to join forces again and Midnight Sun was born. Jason
and Rob are currently spending all their free time (and some of their
time at work too) working on their first feature horror film, which
according to Jason’s Mom is “one freaky and messed up kinda
movie.” The script is being written, and hopefully production
isn’t too far behind. So keep your eyes peeled for what the critics
will hopefully be calling a “scary good time at the movies.” |
