Gino McKoy is the Director & Screenwriter behind this year's upcoming breakout sci-fi film, LUMINA, the first-ever Sci-Fi movie filmed entirely in Morocco and stars Golden Globe nominee Eric Roberts, Ken Lawson,and Eleanor Williams. According to the film’s Academy Award-winning editor Thom Noble, “McKoy's eye for detail and recollection of shots and angles is exactly like that of Ridley Scott." Gino envisioned and created entirely new Sci-Fi worlds and was extremely agile and experimental in building his massive and jaw-dropping film sets.
LUMINA is bold, cerebral, and distinctive from your standard alien movie fare. The story follows a young college graduate whose girlfriend vanishes in a blinding flash of light. Determined to find her at any cost, he is drawn into a dangerous, otherworldly web of distortions as he seeks to discover the truth behind her disappearance.
Gino wanted to make LUMINA in Africa, and between its deserts and mountain landscapes, Morocco established itself as the perfect filming location. Filmed during the Covid pandemic, the director and his team’s production facilities landed in Marrakech last October, and filming lasted 5 months. Nearly 250 Moroccans worked as technical staff or as extras.
Falling under the spell of the city and the diverse landscapes of southern Morocco, the choice of Morocco was symbolic for Gino, because being from the Caribbean his country shares many similarities with Africa. Gino found in Africa the landscapes and places he dreamed of for his film including the sumptuous desert of Agafay, the Atlas Mountains, and the majestic backdrops of Ouarzazate.
The dynamic and ambitious Gino McKoy is looking forward to bringing his first feature film to theatres worldwide later this year and is excited to speak with you to share for the first time the film and behind-the-scenes moments of what it took to get it made.
