Alex Hurt in ‘Blackout’

Yellow Veil Pictures has boarded world sales on Larry Fessendens werewolf horror Blackout and will launch talks with buyers at the EFM later this month.

The film wrapped principal photography last autumn in New York’s Hudson Valley and is currently in post-production. The filmmakers anticipate a festival circuit run later this year.

Blackout marks the second collaboration between Fessenden’s New York production company Glass Eye Pix and Yellow Veil Pictures after Depraved, a 2019 riff on the Frankenstein story which IFC Midnight distributed in the US.

It follows a painter who becomes convinced he is a werewolf wreaking havoc on a small American town every full moon. The horror joins Fessenden’s “Monsterverse” alongside his breakout vampire feature, Habit (1995) and Depraved.

The cast includes Alex Hurt, Addison Timlin, Motell Gyn Foster, Joseph Castillo-Midyett, Ella Rae Peck, Rigo Garay, John Speredakos, Michael Buscemi, Jeremy Holm, Joe Swanberg, Barbara Crampton, James Le Gros and Marshall Bell

Fessenden produces with longtime collaborator and filmmaker James Felix McKenney, and Chris Ingvordsen.

Yellow Veil Pictures will present first footage to buyers.
