About

The Dark Kidney Filmmaking Effort was started in March of 2011 by film buff Scott Danzig. The name Dark Kidney spawned from an inside joke, literally. Scott was reassuring his girlfriend that a seemingly “evil” friend was really warm inside, like a kidney. The random nickname, Dark Kidney, has an artistic, rebellious element to it that no one can deny, so we stuck with the name.

Filmmaking is a collaborative effort and Dark Kidney is no exception. The group consists of seasoned professionals and novices working together to bring the project to fruition. While on a shoot, all hands are on deck, with the pros helping the newbies learn the intricacies of the production process. It is a great learning experience as well as a fun activity to participate in.
