Sometimes our external society is not there to aid us during our dark times, which makes us have to search for the light within ourselves. This film takes a deep dive into Lucy's deep and imaginative desires of escaping her toxic and abusive relationship with her mother in the darkest ways possible." - Christopher Mays, Writer & Director of "Rake" Cast: Lucy - Claire Lefort Esther - Donna Dasher Rake - Colton Davis School Nurse - Dorothy Monforte Rake Girl - Erin Carrie Rake Girl - McKenzie Miller Rake Girl - Ali Grutchfield Rake Girl - Madison Winebrenner Credits: Writer / Director - Christopher Mays Producer - Erin Carrie Executive Producers - Susan Carrie & Jay Mays Assistant Producer - Ali Grutchfield Director of Photography - Sasha Landy Assistant Camera / Camera Operator - Joshua Stoker Gaffer - Jordan Miller Grips - Sam Hahn & Nathaniel Hendley Editor - Erin Carrie Assistant Editor - Julien Pedro Assistant Editor - Alexander Baldwin Additional Editing by - Abbey Miller Colorist - Rutuj Acharya Post-Production Sound Supervisor - Manni Simon Foley Artists - George Allan & Conor Van Slyke Visual Effects Supervisor - Ty Robillard Matchmove Artist - Davis Hardy CG Generalist - Ty Robillard Compositor - Davis Hardy Compositor - William jantz Compositor - Ethan Nasiff Compositor - Ty Robillard Compositor - Storm Slawson Compositor - Mateo Solorzano Roto Artist - Ethan Nasiff Assistant Director - Bailey Selvidge Script Supervisor - Alejandro Medina Production Sound Mixer - Manni Simon Production Sound Mixer - Gavin Bishop Production Designer - McKenzie Miller Set Dresser - Emily Pineres Set Dresser - Claire Yu Set Dresser - Megan Rose Hair & Make-Up - Abigail Rojas Costumes - Kennedy Lindberg Additional Costumes - Abigail Rojas Carpenter - Jake Springsteen -- ABOUT MIDNIGHT SUMMER: Midnight Summer is a production brand founded by Dominican-American film director and screenwriter, Christopher Mays, and producer Erin Carrie.
