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, 1986 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.
