"Eliciting an exuberant standing ovation at its world premiere, LIGHTBULB, is a radiant testament to the American spirit." SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT

Shot entirely in Tucson, LIGHTBULB is based on a true story. A small time inventor and a fast-talking salesman endure a series of mishaps and failed inventions before coming up with a product that becomes a worldwide phenomenon. Along the way, they learn how to overcome hard times with hope and humor.

LIGHTBULB features Dallas Roberts (“I Walk The Line”, “3:10 To Yuma”), Jeremy Renner (“The Assassination of Jesse James”, “The Hurt Locker”), and Ayelet Zurer (“Munich”, “Angels and Demons”).

LIGHTBULB is directed by Jeff Balsmeyer whose first feature, DANNY DECKCHAIR, opened to rave reviews and was the closing night film at the Toronto Film Festival.

"A terrific little yarn about pluck, perseverance, and friendshipovercoming the odds, LIGHTBULB, is exactly what's needed in these troubled times." Lael Lowenstein, VARIETY
