FIREFLY interweaves the stories of three people seeking the mysterious truth about what happened one fateful Halloween night. Del woke up in his truck, hung over and covered in dirt. Brandt was found floating in a river. Susan was rushed to the hospital, bloody and cold. Now, a week before Christmas, Del is having vague, fragmented nightmares and losing sight of his dream to quit his roofing job and become a science-fiction filmmaker. Brandt, once confident in his relationship, is growing weak and skeptical. As he begins to follow his girlfriend through her daily routine, he becomes too distacted to notice that someone may be following him as well. Susan's memory of her assault is met with a mix of pity and doubt. Starting each day with a compulsive jog through the city, her fear and frustration lead her on a lonely search for her masked assailants. There's also a little bald guy, whose unexplained clairvoyance leads him to those in need. The answers will come Christmas Eve. Pete Marcy's debut feature is a methodical and carefully crafted tale that takes full advantage of the chilly aesthetic of a Minnesota winter, creating a remarkable narrative that works on multiple levels. FIREFLY is a haunting yet subversively funny film that earns your laughs because it hits uncomfortably close to home. Cleverly commenting on the nature of filmmaking, relationships and revenge, FIREFLY starts off with a bang and then rebuilds to a conclusion well worth the wait.
