We are excited to see a female latina be at the forefront of a horror film. DON’T LOOK is Latina director Luciana Faulhaber first feature film and has been acquired by Wild Eye Releasing.
“It was important for me to create work that shows the female characters as they are in real life – none of us are waiting to be saved by some prince charming”, said film director and co-producer Luciana Faulhaber, who also plays a role in the film.
DON’T LOOK is a slasher horror feature with touches of dark humor and Faulhaber inserts current events into the traditional horror genre tropes. The horror film revolves around five New York City Millennials escape to the city for a Thanksgiving weekend in the woods. The group of friends’ peaceful weekend is soon interrupted as they become the target of a murder.
Javier E. Gomez, a co-producer of “DON’T LOOK and co-founder with Luciana of Enuff Productions, said: “I am thankful to Wild Eye Releasing for believing in DON’T LOOK and introducing our work to audiences across the globe through traditional and digital platforms. We are very proud to become part of the WER family and we look forward to working with the company in the rolling out the plan to bring DON’T LOOK directly to audiences.”
DON’T LOOK will premiere in Los Angeles next month at North Hollywood CineFest and its Latin American premiere will take place in April, at the Rock Horror Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro. The film is scheduled for VOD release in late 2018. There will be more details about the VOD release and other forms of digital and traditional showings in the upcoming months. The producers are Luciana Faulhaber, Javier E. Gomez, Lindsay Eshelman, Daniel Shaw and Jessica Boucher, who is also one of the film’s writers.
Meanwhile, Luciana and Javier, who started their production partnership over ten years ago producing for the New York stage, are already working on their next projects: a comedy pilot about a young reporter coming to terms with his identity and gay sexuality, in a dying Latino newspaper in NYC – to be shot in 2018- and a film adaptation of a best-selling Latin American novel.
