Good Luck Glenn. Give it Loads!
June 12 marks the 10 Year Anniversary of the final leg of “Crawling Home” by GEP pal Robert O Leaver.
I Crawl Home was a performance piece by Robert O Leaver who crawled on hands and knees up Broadway in Manhattan from Wall Street to Washington Heights, 10 blocks a day over the course of 8 months. Glass Eye Pix was there to document.
The last crawl took place on 6.12.14 and was videoed by wing man Larry Fessenden and on second camera, Jack Fessenden. This time-base endurance piece started on Halloween 2013, and brings to mind Fessenden’s early collaborations with performance artists such as The Impact Addict, Heather Woodbury and Alien Comic in the 1980s. Long live the arts.

Seed & Spark Campaign kicks off for GEP pal James Siewert’s short film APPENDECTOMY
While on hold with a loan collector Cassandra Quinlin’s consciousness becomes untethered from her body and reemerges in another part of her life – where she helps a man recover his memories from a postsurgical amnesic haze.
Mission Statement
Many of us exist in a twilight state between past and present – powerful memories threaten to engulf us and we must fight our way back. By rendering this interior voyage in its true cosmic vastness I hope reawaken the audience’s appreciation for the beauty and terror hidden in the everyday.

JoBlo: THE LAST WINTER “one of the best horror movies you’ve never seen”
I’ve been on a bit of a Larry Fessenden kick lately either intentionally or by circumstance. I really wanted to talk about the movie Late Phases which has a cameo from the man and his name in the produced by section. This led to one of our favorites in Danielle Harris wishing that more people knew about a movie she did called Stake Land. While this had a six degrees of separation angle attached to it with Late Phases star Nick Damichi also starring and writing Stake Land, it also brought back Fessenden in his comfortable producer role, oh and another cameo. We’ve gone down another rabbit hole and heard from the man himself that The Last Winter (watch it HERE) is a movie of his that he wishes had been seen by more people. This movie see’s Larry in not only his producing and cameo roles that he is known for but also in the hats of Director, Writer, and Editor. We here at JoBlo Horror Originals happen to agree with the man that The Last Winter in one of the Best Horror Movies You Never Saw.

“as a means of delivering a message in a very personalized way,
that makes them interesting but I think may turn some people off”

UNTIL DAWN gets spit and polish
from worthplaying.com:
‘Until Dawn’ Comes To PS5 And PC In Fall 2024
Set at an isolated mountain lodge where nothing is as it seems, 8 friends try to stay alive with a killer on the loose. Players define the relationships between the characters through dialogue and experience the night from their unique point of view. Written in collaboration with famed horror writers and directors Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, find out who will survive Until Dawn.
Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, Until Dawn has seen enhancements across the board, all made with passion and care for the original from the team of horror lovers, film fanatics, and veteran game makers at Ballistic Moon; and it’s coming to PS5 and PC this year!
Until Dawn has been rebuilt with the latest tools and techniques. New and improved animations build on the success of the original character performances. Characters, environments and VFX have been upgraded – all for a truly enhanced cinematic horror experience.
We use a broader cinematic tonal colour palette and new perspectives to make the story more nuanced and emotional. We’ve been brave enough to shine a light into the dark, unseen corners of Blackwood Mountain and added a third-person camera, which means you can now look behind the curtain of the original game, exploring enhanced and new locations with new interactions and collectables.
Incorporating a third-person camera and adding contextual character movement animations, the game now allows the player to really feel the experience of that fateful night.
Until Dawn’s sound has undergone a massive overhaul too, featuring a new score from legendary horror composer Mark Korven.
We’ve endeavoured to keep the fantastic narrative integratory of the original, but we have seized the opportunity to expand upon unexplored emotional parts of the story.
Look out for more news on this enhanced version of Until Dawn coming later this year.
