Genre is no different than any other corner of the media world; it too is branching into the world of podcasts. When we reached out for recommendations of what we should be listening to from our genre friends, these were the shows most commonly recommended:
…
“Tales From Beyond the Pale”: while this is not a way to keep up on the world of genre, it is incredible entertainment. The horror podcast — produced by Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid for Glass Eye Pix — is inspired by 1930s radio dramas and re-opened the door for genre filmmakers to return to the tradition of radio plays.

“This week FROM DUSK TILL CON contributor Jay Kay shares a few of his favorite episodes and thoughts on Tales From Beyond The Pale.
… With a wide variety of radio drama programming options in a digital age, for me, GLASS EYE PIX masterminds Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid are the measuring stick for modern radio performance theater. Pulling from influences that are vast and deep, that draw influence from storytellers from Orson Wells as well as Alfred Hitchcock, TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE moves into their fourth season continuing the magic of stories brought to life that draw you in, isolate you and chill you to the bone…”

Screen Media has picked up worldwide rights for Stray Bullets, a low-budget crime drama from 16-year-old Jack Fessenden, son of indie film vet Larry Fessenden.
The younger Fessenden stars alongside Asa Spurlock in Stray Bullets as a pair of teenage boys tasked with cleaning out their father’s old mobile home on an abandoned property, only to find that three cons on the run (James Le Gros, John Speredakos, Larry Fessenden) are using the trailer for a hideout.
The movie, produced through the Fessenden’s New York shingle Glass Eye Pix, premiered at the Oldenburg Film Festival in Germany earlier this year.
Screen Media is planning a multi-platform release for Stray Bullets in the U.S. in February next year. The company has also taken on international rights and will be selling the title to foreign buyers at AFM.
“We have a great track record working with Screen Media, and we’re delighted they’ve shown such enthusiasm for Jack’s movie,” said Larry Fessenden. “We look forward to building on that to make an impact with this humble but resonant film.”
The deal for Stray Bullets was negotiated by Needle for Screen Media with Larry Fessenden and Jenn Wexler at Glass Eye Pix on behalf of the filmmakers.
Screen Media’s recent releases include Michel Gondry’s Microbe & Gasoline and South American horror thriller Colonia starring Emma Watson and Daniel Bruhl.
Yellow Bread reviews GEP short The Egg and the Hatchet at Oldenburg Film Fest 2016.
“Skotchdopole deftly eschews clichés of the romantic genre and succeeds in finding the balance between spontaneity – and therefore reality – and his constructed, imagined vision for his short. In doing so, he also manages to masterfully capture and convey the energy between his protagonists and that is precisely how he puts a spell on his audience”.
