Drew Lewis Guerra wrote and directed the film “The Last Light” and we had the honor of hosting its World Premiere at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2025.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      I have watched this film several times and I swear to you… it’s a masterpiece.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           I find myself crying throughout the credits.
