About Lumina Movie:
Lumina is an American science fiction horror thriller film written and directed by Gino J.H. McKoy, and produced by Gino J.H. McKoy, Lynda McKoy, David Seychell, and Hudson McKoy.
The film stars Eric Roberts, Ken Lawson, Emily Hall, Rupert Lazarus, Eleanor Williams, Andrea Tividar, and Sidney Nicole Rogers.
The process of bringing the film Lumina to life involved significant challenges. After numerous agencies failed to secure a director, the screenwriter, Gino J.H. McKoy, took it upon himself to direct the film. The funding for the film was secured through David Seychell, a longtime friend of Lynda.
In 2020, SAG-AFTRA instructed its members to avoid working on the film Lumina, which allegedly failed to comply with required COVID-19 safety standards as per the union’s Global Rule One, making it one of the few movies to proceed without union support.
The film was filmed in Marrakesh, Ouarzazate, Agafay, and the Atlas Mountains areas in Morocco. The Sci-Fi sets were built at the CLA studios in Ouarzazate. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the production was able to navigate the obstacles and proceed with filming.
Lumina was re-released on September 20, 2024, following its initial release on July 12, 2024, by Goldove.
