Interview: Discussing the Making of SHELBY OAKS with Writer / Director Chris Stuckmann

I’m very excited for our readers to experience Shelby Oaks for themselves later this month. After its successful festival run and an acquisition from NEON, the film will be released to theaters everywhere on October 24th, and I had the opportunity to catch up with writer and director Chris Stuckmann. Our interview touches upon his early influences, the collaborative process to bring his vision to life, and updates to the film following its acquisition. This is an insightful, inspiring conversation for anyone interested in making their own film or even just better understanding the process of bringing this terrifying film to life.

Youtube film critic Chris Stuckmann steps into the director role with his long-awaited found footage horror film, SHELBY OAKS. After garnering an overwhelming amount of online support through a kickstarter campaign, SHELBY OAKS has gained an unprecedented following with critics calling it “one of the best horror debuts” and “creepy as all hell”. Stuckmann co-wrote the script about a woman’s desperate search for her long-lost sister. She falls into obsession upon realizing that the imaginary demon from their childhood may have been real. Stuckmann’s directorial debut will be in theaters October 24th.
