• WHO IS NITETEA, LLC

    Established on April 7, 2025, by director and cinematographer Hunter Thomas Candelaria and creative photographer and military veteran Anmar Chaleby, the independent film production company was founded to give artists creative autonomy to navigate the industry on their own terms. The duo specializes in high-concept suspense and horror films that pair twisted, original storytelling with immersive, visceral cinematography. Their collaborative dynamic began with the 2023 film Stalking the Stalker, which earned "Best Horror Film" at the 2024 Allentown Film Festival. While continuing to expand their reach through diverse digital media—including their podcast Nite-in-Time, social media micro-shorts, and event photography—their core passion remains dedicated to crafting compelling short and feature-length films.
