INDIEWIRE: Jack Fessenden one of 11 Indie Filmmakers 30 or Under You Need to Know
From IndieWire:
The summer between his sophomore and junior of high school Jack Fessenden shot his first feature, “Stray Bullets,” a hybrid story of teen friendship that intersects with a violent genre tale of gangsters on the lam. That at age 17 Fessenden had a movie with day-and-date distribution which he wrote, directed, starred in and composed the music for makes Xavier Dolan seem like a late bloomer. Fessenden grew up visiting the sets of his father, NYC horror guru and Glass Eye Pix founder Larry Fessenden, who shared with his son a love of craft over a steady diet of Hitchcock films.
Over the years, young Jack has received a first class nuts and bolts film education, but he is not simply a chip off the old block. What’s most impressive about “Bullets” is not simply how assuredly and economically the young filmmaker handles the choreography of violence, but how he finds subtlety and depth in the film’s quieter moments.

From:
THE DEMON HUNTER’S COMPENDIUM
A BLOG DEDICATED TO THE STUDY OF SUPERNATURAL CREATURES AND ENTITIES.
“…the book features some truly amazing artwork
that will both tantalize and horrify you.
All in all, I cannot recommend Sudden Storm enough,
and I strongly urge my friends and this blog’s readers
to order a copy for themselves as soon as possible.”

Glass Eye Pix heading to Frontiers during the Fantasia Film Fest
Filmmakers from around the world gather in Montreal each year with prospective films in tow, hoping that they can find the resources to make their next projects pop up on those screens. The mix of filmmakers is always eclectic and they all come with their own fascinating, crazy and wonderful ideas.
The first wave of titles taking part in this year’s co-production market have been announced and as always it is a diverse mix of legends, indie faves and more. King of the zombies, George A. Romero, is making, what I believe, his first appearance in the market. Indie leader Larry Fessenden is back with one of his Glass Eye Pix family members, Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead). LFO‘s Antonio Tublén and Alexandre Brondsted are back with a new project. There are also a handful of filmmakers in the first wave below looking to make their feature debuts. They could be the future leaders of genre and fantastic cinema perhaps?
….
This weekend in Cannes, Frontiers will also unveil the Frontières Platform at the Marché du Film, a dedicated section of presentations and networking opportunities for the genre community. Events will include a Proof of Concept Presentation of projects in the late finance & packaging stages, a Buyers Showcase of recently completed or work-in-progress films, and the co-presentation of the Fantastic Fanatics Mixer, a networking cocktail in partnership with genre festivals and markets around the world.
