Glass Eye Pix is an independent film studio based in New York City, known primarily for producing horror films.[1][2]
History[]
Producer Larry Fessenden founded Glass Eye Pix in 1985 in order to copyright his own films.[1][2] The name came from a glass eye one of his friends gave to him as a gift. The company eventually grew to encompass others' works as Fessenden began to mentor younger filmmakers.[3]
Glass Eye Pix's low-budget horror banner, Scareflix, was designed to create lean budgeted, auteur-driven films from new directors.[4] Scareflix productions include Glenn McQuaid’s I Sell the Dead, Ti West's The Roost and Trigger Man, James Felix McKenney's Automatons and The Off Season, and I Can See You and The Viewer by Graham Reznick.[5] In collaboration with Dark Sky Films, Fessenden and partners Peter Phok and Brent Kunkle also produced Joe Maggio's Bitter Feast,[6] Jim Mickle's Stake Land and James Felix McKenny's Hypothermia under the Scareflix banner.[5]
Outside of the horror genre, the company has produced films including Rick Alverson's The Comedy, Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy, and Ilya Chaiken’s Liberty Kid[5] Glass Eye Pix also released two seasons of the audio drama series, Tales From Beyond the Pale, created by Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid, and hosted by Fessenden.[7]
