ABOUT BRIGHTON FILMS
With a background in film and performance, Vanessa Silva and Heather Hentila developed Footlight Entertainment in 2014. They did so with the vision of creating characters they not only wanted to portray as actors, but to see more of on television and in films.
Footlight Entertainment and, subsequently, Footlight Studios, have received awards in filmmaking from production to cinematography and editing, since its inception. Footlight Studios, produces a wide mix of entertainment from films to episodic television to web series and beyond, creating a vast opportunity to work with a variety of incredible filmmakers from all walks of life, continuing the vision of creative equality.
In 2019, Vanessa and Heather created a production company focusing solely on independent film. Brighton Films continues the vision of gender equality in the industry by putting women at the forefront - in front and behind the camera - in pivotal and essential roles. Brighton Films’ first project “The Veil” centralized women not only in story but in the majority of crew. From pre-production to post, “The Veil” was women-helmed and over 65% crewed by women.
