On July 16th, Gonk Films hosted a benefit party for their latest film project at the Underworld Store on St-Catherine St. With a trendy space and Dj HugoC at our side, the evening was a success. “Her Night”, written and directed by Jason de Vilhena, tells the story of a young woman (Sabrina Campilii) who secretly prepares a romantic evening before her lover’s arrival. Meanwhile, unaware of her presence, three burglars force their way into the luxurious home.

More updates to come regarding this project.
