WALKING SHADOWS LLC was incorporated in the State of California on October 10th, 2006 under the name Luminous Velocity Releasing LLC. In December 2008, Luminous Velocity Releasing (or LVR) changed its name to Walking Shadows as it is more dramatic, cinematic, and literary and thus better reflects its core business. Under Luminous Velocity, Mr. Nohe distributed three films: Re-Cycle, Milarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint, and the documentary I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal.
Re-Cycle …was the #6 film in Hong Kong in 2006; and was the Closing Night selection of Un Certain Regard at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. With ace visuals, great scares, and clever concepts, Re-Cycle propels the Pang Brothers to the forefront of New Asian Horror. Angelica Lee's performance outshines her work in the Pang Brothers film The Eye. As the home video rights were tied up with Image, we pulled off a very modest theatrical (5 playdates) – and sold it to television.
I Have Never Forgotten You - The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal
Narrated by Academy Award - winning actress Nicole Kidman, and written, directed, and produced by Academy Award-winning documentarian Richard Trank (1999, The Long Way Home), the film chronicles the dramatic life of the relentless Nazi Hunter, Humanitarian and Peace Activist Simon Wiesenthal. Working with a $60,000 P&A budget, we're able to achieve the largest scale release in the history of the film's Producers, Moriah Films - 45 cities across the United States.
Milarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint
written and directed by Neten Chockling.
The film was produced by Raymond Steiner (The Cup, Travellers & Magicians).A historical epic, the film tells the unlikely story of the man who would become one of Tibet's greatest folk heroes and one of the more legendary spiritual figures within Tibetan Buddhism. Milarepa began a platform release starting in New York and Los Angeles in September 2007. It played over 65 markets in the U.S. and Canada – opening to $12,100 on one screen in New York on September 7th, 2007 and $11,800 in Los Angeles one week later.
