Glass Eye Pix (“one of the indie scene’s most productive and longest-running companies” —Filmmaker magazine) is the fiercely independent NYC-based production outfit headed by award-winning art-horror auteur Larry Fessenden (THE LAST WINTER, WENDIGO, HABIT, NO TELLING, NBC's Fear Itself). Fessenden (winner of the 1997 Spirit award "Someone To Watch" and the 2009 Golden Hammer Award) has operated the company since 1985, with the mission of supporting individual voices in the arts.
Glass Eye Pix has produced numerous critically acclaimed films in and out of the horror genre, including 2011's THE INNKEEPERS (Ti West), 2009's WENDY AND LUCY (Kelly Reichardt), THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (Ti West), SATAN HATES YOU (James McKenney), 2008’s LIBERTY KID (Ilya Chaiken), the 3D short THE VIEWER by Graham Reznick, all of Fessenden's films before that. Glass Eye Pix is the parent company of the low budget horror banner Scareflix. Scareflix was designed to exploit hungry new talent and inspire resourceful filmmakers to produce quality work through seat-of-the-pants ingenuity. Lean budgeted auteur-driven pulp pictures that nurture emerging talents of the genre, Scareflix offers faces both familiar and new in chilling tales that celebrate the diversity of the horror movie-- from creature features to tales of psychological dread. Glenn McQuaid’s gently macabre I SELL THE DEAD is the sixth Scareflick in the series that began in 2004. Already populated with killer bats, robot wars, ghost stories, psychedelic brain melts, sniper rampages, and zombies, the other five Scareflix are THE ROOST and TRIGGER MAN (Ti West), THE OFF SEASON and AUTOMATONS (James Felix McKenney), I CAN SEE YOU by Graham Reznick.
2011 sees the release of three new Scareflix produced by Fessenden and partners Peter Phok and Brent Kunkle in collaboration with Dark Sky Films: BITTER FEAST (Joe Maggio), STAKE LAND (Jim Mickle — winner of the Audience Award at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival's Midnight Madness) and HYPOTHERMIA (James Felix McKenney). With the release in Autumn 2011 of a 10 episode series of audio dramas for the web, TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE, (Entertainment Weekly's 11/4/11 “Must List”), Glass Eye Pix continues its mission to haunt audiences' dreams with boldly original work.
