Woke up today to this news on Deadline:

Snowfort Pictures and MPI’s Dark Sky Films have started production on Starry Eyes, the Hollywood-set occult tale from Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch. Snowfort Pictures is producing, while MPI will handle international sales. Newcomer Alex Essoe stars in the horror movie that’s a contemporary take on pics like Rosemary’s Baby. Amanda Fuller, Fabianne Therese, Pat Healy, Shane Coffey, Marc Senter, Nick Simmons and Noah Segan star. Travis Stevens produces. Exec producers are John Jarzemensky, Aaron Koontz, Giles Daoust and Gena Wilbur. The initial round of financing was raised via Kickstarter.

Nice to be sharing screen space with Ryan Gosling.  We couldn't be more happy to be partnered with such an awesome company like Dark Sky Films.

Pat Healy joins the cast of 'Starry Eyes'

Today we're thrilled to announce that we've added another awesome actor to our growing cast list: Pat Healy! If you don't know Pat's name yet... you soon will.  He's been acting for over 15 years for directors as widespread across the gamut as Michael Bay and Werner Herzog.  In recent years, he's become a more recognizable face in such indie hits as The Innkeepers and Compliance.  This year he starred in our own producer Travis Stevens' SXSW Midnight Audience Award winner, Cheap Thrills.

Pat's a talented guy and we're stoked to have him on board.  And when you see how awesome the role he's playing is, you'll love him even more.

Stay tuned for more announcements and, if you don't already, follow Pat on Twitter at @Pat_Healy.

It's here. After a long, cruel tease, today we unveil Jay Shaw's gorgeously haunting, exclusive Starry Eyes Kickstarter poster. Staring at this thing makes me feel a lot of emotions inside.
