Dark Hollow picked for Fantasia Film Festival’s International Co-production Market

The film adaptation of US horror author Brian Keene‘s novel Dark Hollow took another step towards the big screen by being picked as one of only 14 film projects selected for Frontières: The 2012 Fantasia Film Festival Co-production Market.

Part of Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival, Frontières will be held from 26 to 29 July 2012 and will feature an exciting array of filmmakers, from gifted newcomers to world-renowned masters, who will be able to present their projects to international producers, sales agents and distributors in an environment focused on genre film production.

About the film:  “On a walk through local woods rumoured to be haunted, writer Adam Shay come across a strange sight: a statue of a half-man, half- goat creature, a satyr from ancient legends, that comes to life before his eyes. Soon, women in the town begin disappearing, summoned to the woods by the satyr’s hypnotic piping. When Adam gathers his friends to hunt down the satyr and save the women, what they uncover is an unholy evil hell-bent on protecting itself and spreading its seed… “

The film is directed by Paul Campion with the screenplay by Paul Finch (both of  whom also worked on The Devil’s Rock). Brian Keene has shown his support for the adaptation.
