CITY WIDE FEVER. BY JOSH HEAPS, 2025. Coming soon to The Nightlight 🎬 Grab your tickets now!
Shot with a tiny budget on digital video, Josh Heaps’ City Wide Fever is a loving homage to the deliriously irrational pleasures of giallo films. Heaps’ first foray into filmmaking demonstrates an impressive grasp on the genre. Not only does it capture the dreamy, off-kilter tone of giallo, but keeps the audience entertained with killer shot-on-video visuals and an endearing sense of humor.
Heaps’ debut feature follows a young film student in New York City as she tracks down the whereabouts of a forgotten Italian horror director, embedding herself in an unsolved mystery surrounding his disappearance.
Sam, a young film student, discovers a hard drive detailing the life and career of forgotten Giallo Italian horror director Saturnino Barresi. As she begins to investigate his mysterious disappearance, Sam finds herself pulled into a violent conspiracy eerily similar to those of the films she adores.
