EXCLUSIVE: Chris Stuckmann and Aaron B. Koontz of Paper Street Pictures have added genre specialists Mike Flanagan, Trevor Macy and Melinda Nishioka of Intrepid Pictures as executive producers on their record-breaking Kickstarter-backed horror film Shelby Oaks, which is in post-production.
The 2022 Kickstarter campaign for the movie raised $1.39M in under a month, more than doubling the previous record for the most-funded horror film on Kickstarter.
A combination of documentary, found footage, and traditional film footage styles, Shelby Oaks centers on Mia’s (Camille Sullivan) frantic search for her sister, Riley, (Sarah Durn) who ominously disappeared in the last tape of her “Paranormal Paranoids” investigative series. As Mia’s obsession grows, she begins to suspect that the imaginary demon from Riley’s childhood may have been real.
Cast also includes Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, Robin Bartlett and Keith David. There’s no word yet on a release plan.
Pic is written and directed by Chris Stuckmann, the filmmaker and YouTube creator. Producers are Aaron B. Koontz, Ashleigh Snead, and Cameron Burns of Paper Street, as well as Stuckmann. Executive producing alongside Macy, Flanagan, and Nishioka are Adam F. Goldberg, Paul Holbrook, Sean E. DeMott, and Tony Killough. Shawn Talley, Alex Euting, and Farrell Rose are co-producing for Paper Street.
Flanagan, known for films including Ouija: Origin Of Evil and Doctor Sleep and The Haunting TV series, will be providing guidance and input during the post-production process. He said today: “It’s been inspiring to watch Chris working toward his dreams over the past few years, and the tenacity and DIY spirit he displayed while bringing Shelby Oaks to life reminded me so much
