It’s also the first feature I’ll direct that I’ve also written on since Hounds of Love, so helping shape the script into the kind of Stephen King film I’d want to experience myself has been a real joy. ”The film will be produced by Aimee Schoof, Isen Robbins, and Megan Freels Johnston of Intrinsic Value Films, joined by Josh Kesselman and Thomas Mahoney from Handsome Watson.
