About Me

The independent feature film BLACK DAYS takes place on the gritty streets of Chicago where Trent, an alcoholic ex-con, is seduced by a desperate prostitute to help her escape her pimp. Only things go horribly wrong when Trent's attempt to buy her gets violent and spins dangerously out of control. A pivotal day in the life of Trent, a former hitman, attempting to be free of his past.

FACTS ABOUT PROSTITUTION:

-Prostitution is a $14 billion dollar business in the U.S.-The average age of entry into prostitution is 13 years.-Between 100,000 & 300,000 children are exploited through prostitution in the U.S. each year.-Estimates of the prevalence of incest and sexual abuse among prostitutes range from 65% to 90%.-About 80% of women in prostitution have been the victim of a rape. CLICK TO VIEW THE BLACK DAYS TEASER TRAILER!!! BLACK DAYS is a dark and violent thriller, a gritty film noir piece that is both visually captivating and incredibly thought provoking. Stephen Cinabro (HARDBALL, U.S. MARSHALLS, THE UNTOUCHABLES-TV series) portrays Trent as an anti-hero with a quiet boding intensity. A low budget tour de force that provides an unforgetable pathology of a man who is lost and solitary trying to find peace by helping a lonely broken prostitute just trying to stay alive. BLACK DAYS is entrancing, violent, and erotic with an unforgettable ending and gritty visual style.** BLACK DAYS was filmed in a grueling two week shooting schedule for only $17,000 despite having money stolen from the production one week before filming.** BLACK DAYS is the only film of it's kind to pay every cast and crew member for their work despite having such a low budget.** Lions Gate Films unknowingly helped with the financing of Black Days. Producer Phil Johnsen invested in the young Lions Gate company back in 2000 and used his earnings to invest in BLACK DAYS.** BLACK DAYS is one of the only films in history to ever help a charity! Currently Michael Urnikis, the director of the film, is donating all proceeds from merchandise sales to the charity Genesis House to help prostitutes find help. He is also donating a percentage of the money he makes off the distribution deal once Black Days is sold to help the charity.** "IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANNA ROCK N' ROLL" - AC DC
