"Somewhere in the mist,the edge of reality hangs on like a myth. Never truly solidifying it lays in the shadows fomenting from a very dark life into the creation of Dark Moments."

Dark Moments is the latest project created from the warped genius of Producer/Director, Shayne Turner. Described as an artificer, it has been said that Turner has devised a master of suspense mixed with the macabre to hold the viewer through the entire sixty episode series.

Turner has been responsible for a number of locally produced productions including Bus Business and the acclaimed 'B' Brothers' Blues, which ran nationally on a multi-showing, three year contract with both Bravo and Book TV.

Dark Moments', the web series, is based on the exploits of photojournalist, Jason Averial Edwards. Jae as he's known, finds himself in the south central city of Kamloops, British Columbia working as a reporter/photographer for a small newspaper. Before he can properly settle himself into his new desk, the mysterious disappearance of a prominent local teen sets off a series of events that propels the viewer through a sixty episode roller coaster which is a blend of a high impact action drama and ominous eeriness of The Twilight Zone.

Ghosts, goblins, angel, demons, aliens, cops and robbers.

With each episode ending in a convoluted, Machiavellian twist infused with reminiscences of the Twilight Zone.

Although each of the episodes have been designed to stand alone as a complete story... there are miniscule threads, characters and .... which pulls the regular viewer into the web of intricate scripts that build the complete series into one larger story.

Another production tactic Turner has turned to is the infusion footage of real people often obscured from identification, telling of their own Dark Moments.

Rumors of the production being cursed when one of the lead actors, prominent Kamloops lawyer, Michael O'Neil, expectantly died from a massive heart attack, were found to have no basis.

Turner financed Dark Moments through a tiered strategic mix of direct subscription, cash value investments in the way of product placement and sponsors of which are noted as 'Accomplices'.
