which has produced almost all of the pivotal movies from the new wave of young horror directors…”
— SLATE
“Glass Eye Pix is… One of the indie scene’s most productive and longest-running companies…”
—FILMMAKER MAGAZINE

that has put out tons of great genre fare over the years…”

“A company like GLASS EYE PIX is the future of indie cinema, a small, individually run force,
driven by passion and an aesthetic vision that can embrace both pure character driven pieces like Wendy and Lucy,
as well as informed, intelligent genre films such as The House of the Devil and I Sell The Dead…
for being such an inspiring force in the industry, we give Larry Fessenden the 2009 GOLDEN HAMMER AWARD.
He’s the past, present, and future combined. He is American Independent Cinema.”
