Happy Memorial Day from Glass Eye Pix.
We invite you to revisit Ilya Chaiken’s LIBERTY KID.
An indie gem that portrays the hardships of returning home from war.
“There may have been two or three dozen American films that struggled to make sense of 9/11 and its aftermath, but none of them have done more with less than “Liberty Kid”… It’s a simple story, engagingly told, wonderfully acted and shot with an eye for the beauty of the Big Apple’s unglamorous outer-borough neighborhoods.”

“The Ranger” is a damn fine 1980s throwback slasher that does every facet of the genre just a little better than you might expect. That’s not necessarily enough to earn a recommendation – enough movies are made about folks getting cut up with an axe every year that even with a 95% failure rate, that’s a fair amount of “pretty decent” – but Jenn Wexler hits the sweet spot here, making a movie that’s got something on its mind aside from the genre itself but still manages to be bloody and entertaining before everything else.
GEP pal Leon Vitali is the subject of a Kubrick doc entitled FILMWORKER,
now unspooling in theaters from KINO LORBER
(distributor of of LIKE ME, TRIGGER MAN, I CAN SEE YOU among other Glass Eye Titles).
Vitali was Stanley Kubrick’s long-time assistant and jack of-all-trades
and can be heard in the TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE episode Cold Reading from Season 4.
And Speaking of Kubrick, don’t miss the re-release of 2001,
in theaters this weekend with a new print overseen by Christopher Nolan:
The murderously obsessive title character of Jenn Wexler’s THE RANGER has his eye on a group of young punks who trespass in his woods, as seen in a new foreign sales poster. We’ve got the exclusive first look.
The poster comes from Octane Entertainment, which has picked up select worldwide sales rights to THE RANGER and will rep it at this month’s Cannes Film Festival. “THE RANGER is a fun and wild ride of punk-rock-infused horror that fits perfectly within our brand,” says Octane’s Jack Campbell. “We’re excited to be working with this team of professionals and can’t wait to introduce the film to our buyers in Cannes.” Adds Wexler, who directed the film and scripted it with Giaco Furino, “It’s been a thrill to share the film with festival audiences around the country. We’re so excited to team up with Octane to introduce THE RANGER to the world.”
