WE ARE
DARKLING
Darkling Films is a production trio for the ages: Anatasha, Jacob, and Aaron. Friends, Lovers, Siblings (you guess which is which). We are also film fanatics, and all deeply invested in telling stories that are character driven, challenging, and brave. Let us take you on a rollercoaster. We promise we’ll make you laugh or scream… depending on how dark your sense of humor is.
