Glass Eye Pix

Glass Eye Pix is an American independent film studio based in New York City, New York known primarily for producing horror films.

History

Film director Larry Fessenden founded Glass Eye Pix on November 2, 1985 in order to copyright his own films, including ''Habit, Wendigo'' and ''The Last Winter''. The name came from a glass eye one of his friends gave to him as a gift, combined with the old lingo from the trade magazine Variety which called movies "pix". The company eventually grew to encompass others' works as Fessenden began to mentor younger filmmakers.

Glass Eye Pix's low-budget horror banner, Scareflix, was designed to create lean budgeted, auteur-driven films from new directors. Scareflix productions include Glenn McQuaid’s '' I Sell the Dead'', Ti West's '' The Roost'' and '' Trigger Man'', James Felix McKenney's ''Automatons'' and '' The Off Season'', and '' I Can See You'' and ''The Viewer'' by Graham Reznick. Other Scareflix include Joe Maggio's '' Bitter Feast'', Jim Mickle's '' Stake Land'', James Felix McKenny's ''Hypothermia''. and Mickey Keating's ''Darling''.

In 2009 Glass Eye Pix partnered with Dark Sky Films, and collaborators Peter Phok and Brent Kunkle, Fessenden produced Ti West's ''The House of the Devil'' and '' The Innkeepers'' as well as '' Late Phases''.

Recent Glass Eye Pix productions include ''Stray Bullets'' by Jack Fessenden, ''Like Me'' by Robert Mockler, ''Birth of The Living Dead'' by Rob Kuhns, '' Most Beautiful Island'' by Ana Asensio, ''The Ranger'' by Jenn Wexler, '' Depraved'' by Larry Fessenden, ''Blackout'' by Larry Fessenden and ''Crumb Catcher'' by Chris Skotchdopole.

Outside of the horror genre, the company has produced films including Rick Alverson's '' The Comedy'', Kelly Reichardt's '' Wendy and Lucy'', Ilya Chaiken’s ''Liberty Kid'' and ''Foxhole'' by Jack Fessenden.

Glass Eye Pix has also produced over 50 episodes of the audio drama series, '' Tales From Beyond the Pale'', created by Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid, and hosted by Fessenden.
