“24: REDEMPTION — CAPTURED IN AFRICA”
Photography Exhibit and an Evening with the Creators

Thursday, January 15th at 7:00 PM — DigitalFusion is pleased to present an evening with the makers of the Emmy Award winning fox drama.

The forty-eight photograph exhibition shot by the show’s creative team including star/executive producer Kiefer Sutherland while on location in South Africa will be featured at this exclusive one night event.

Culver City, California, January 13, 2009 — Last spring, Fox announced that after a nearly two-year hiatus, “24” would return to the airwaves with an unprecedented two-hour television event shot on location in South Africa and Los Angeles entitled “24: Redemption.” Now the producers will gather to display and speak about this collection of stunning photographs shot by five of the show’s creative team during the filming overseas. “24: Redemption — Captured in Africa” is a rare inside look at the making of the show which comprises candid moments between cast and crew, including Emmy Award-winner star Kiefer Sutherland; dramatic stills from the spectacular action sequences; and vivid photographic captures of the scenic South African locations. The DigitalFusion Pro Center in Los Angeles will host the one-of-a-kind photo exhibit of fine art museum quality archival prints, at a special evening with the photographers attending and speaking about their work.

Curated by Entertainment Weekly’s Deputy Photo Director Michael Kochman and custom printed at DigitalFusion’s fine art printing facility, the exhibit features works by Executive Producer/Director Jon Cassar, Director of Photography Rodney Charters, Producer Michael Klick, Unit Photographer Kelsey McNeal and Star/Exec. Producer Kiefer Sutherland.

“We’re thrilled that fine art photography has been chosen by the 24 team to showcase exclusive behind-the-scenes content from such a landmark television series,” DigitalFusion co-founders Hugh Milstein and Jon Moeller. “Working through concept, editing and the final printmaking process with these inspired artists has been a privilege,” said Milstein. “The exhibit is an amazing display of our digital photography services, we were thrilled to participate with our friends at FOX,” added Moeller.

Remarked Kochman, “I was so impressed with the quality of the photography and it was exciting to see a production photographed from five different perspectives. Each photographer captured something very special and poetic– sometimes intimate, sometimes epic, sometimes documentary-like and raw. It all adds up to a fascinating photographic experience.”

“Shooting ‘24:Redemption’ in South Africa was the highlight of my six years on the show. It was nothing short of exhilarating,” commented “24” executive producer and Emmy award-winning director Jon Cassar, who contributed photographs to the exhibit. “Africa also became a wonderful canvas for the still photography enthusiasts among our crew. Every day put us in places and situations that were new and exiting to us, and our cameras clicked constantly. This exhibit chronicles the seven weeks that were spent in Capetown and the surrounding regions from moments captured during a hectic shooting schedule to the faces and places that represent not only the making of ‘24’ but the Africa of today.”

About 24: Redemption:

24: Redemption bridges the gap between seasons six and seven and is the first new material from “24” producers in over a year-and-a-half. The prequel catches up with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) on the African continent where he has sought solace in missionary work. He soon finds himself in the midst of a bloody uprising in the small African nation of Sangala where a ruthless dictator is drafting innocent children as soldiers in his army. As the vicious Colonel Dubaku descends on an orphanage in search of recruits, Jack enters into a one-man crusade at the behest of a friend to rescue the children and get them to safety. Filmed in South Africa and Los Angeles, 24: Redemption stars Emmy award winner Sutherland along with Cherry Jones (Signs, The Perfect Storm), Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty, 28 Weeks Later), Gil Bellows (“Ally McBeal”), Tony Todd (Candyman, Final Destination) and Oscar®* winner Jon Voight (National Treasure: Book of Secrets) as the malevolent defense contractor Jonas Hodges. The prequel was written by showrunner/executive producer Howard Gordon and was directed by executive producer Jon Cassar.
