Director A.D. Calvo (THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS) and producer Todd Slater (producer on the upcoming CHAIN LETTER) have locked up financing for a slate of psychological thrillers and sci-fi projects in the $3 million to $5 million, according to Variety.
The projects include “campus thriller” HOUSE OF DUST; “gothic horror vehicle” SNOW WHITE, and two additional unnamed projects.
According to IMDB, HOUSE OF DUST is about a young co-ed, struggling to conceal her schizophrenia, who slips further into psychosis after the disappearance of several students leaves her doubting her innocence.
SNOW WHITE, via the film’s Facebook page, is about the following: After wavering on her end of a suicide pact, Snow White, a young woman who appears to be the fairest of them all, finds herself trapped in a fantastical nightmare world. As she journeys through seven portals in search of an escape, she comes to realize the cause of her tremendous sense of guilt, the secret she’s been hiding, and the reason behind her travels.
Sounds pretty weird; then again, the original tale is all kinds of f*cked up. Most fairy tales are.
