Reception[]

Trivia[]

Due to shooting and scheduling interventions with FireStar97's first theater release film, Facing the Devil, the pilot of When You Chase the Light has been pushed back to late February, 2015. A new trailer and a couple of clips will be released end January, begin February to still give the audiences something. It is delayed because FireStar97 doesn't want the pilot to seem forced and rushed. As he's very busy with Facing the Devil at this point in time.

Taglines: "Chasing the light is the only thing that can keep you alive." | "Storytime is over."
In the first trailer of the series, FireStar97 voices all characters that don't have a voice actor yet.
This series is slightly based on Chasing the Sun by FireStar97's favorite FanFiction writer Saya MoonShadow on FanFiction.net. Although it will be completely different.
The series is slightly based on several "true stories" and the original, dark, Grimm Fairytales.
FireStar97 points out that the series can be disturbing to write (and possibly watch) at times. FireStar97 thinks that once a writer is disturbed and creeped out by what he has written, it is the perfect sample for the script of a Horror film or series. And this is something that FireStar97 expects from the other writers on the crew.
FireStar97 understands that the series can't become super scary because it is filmed with toys, but his intention is not to scare people with visuals alone. He wants to create atmosphere through a good and creepy script and good performances by the voice actors.
This series was originally a Thriller, Horror story written in first person but this was very different from FireStar97's writing style and he felt that it didn't came off as scary as he originally intended.
