Mouse (Review) – ★★★★

"Adam Engel’s film Mouse grips you with a tale of the damage a guilty conscience can do to a person. A film that showcases a filmmaker who you need to keep an eye on. Mouse is a great thriller that showcases when some inventiveness with shot choices and some wonderful cinematography can do many good things for the picture. With strong all-around performances and a solid script, Mouse will surprise you and will not disappoint." -Scott Gilliland {upcomingonscreen.com}

From a very young age Adam has been passionate about storytelling through motion picture. After years of attempting to replicate the masters with a VHS camcorder he borrowed from his father, he attended The New York Film Academy (NYFA) both in New York and Los Angeles. Subsequently completing a degree in Fine Arts, Adam created TangoLight Films, a production company with the sole purpose of telling extraordinary stories. Through both producing and directing these feature length films and years of experience behind the camera working on Documentaries and various short films, Adam has been featured in prestigious New York festivals and internationally. Recently Adam is working on financing his next episodic series project ("Comet Crew") and feature film, "The Time Convention."

TANGOLIGHT FILMS is an independent film production company creating feature films and high-quality content. Our motto has been distilled into two words; "Extraordinary Stories". In between the big productions the crew and recourses are a constant, Whether it is a full feature film or a 30 second advertisement, we're telling stories with the moving picture. At the heart of everything we do is with cinema at it's core.

Our Extraordinary Story

In 2010-11 TangoLight Films went from art-house experimental films to producing two feature length films. Both films achieved spectacular reviews, each being accomplished for minimal budget. It has been some time now, and that same resourcefulness has led to greater storytelling, though the size and scale of the productions has increased. Since then, TangoLight Films has produced 5 feature length films, numerous documentaries, Internet series and a growing stable of advertisers. The infrastructure for production has been grown exponentially. With multiple projects both large and small in the works is setting itself up to be a staple within the independent market and more.
