Ruth Platt’s Second Feature Martyr’s Lane Shooting Next Year
Oliver Kassman, former head of production over at Qwerty Films, has departed to form his own production outfit, Escape Plan Productions; and the label will focus on genre fare including horror, comedy, noir, sci-fi, and period pieces. Today brings word on the UK company’s first feature.
Screen Daily reports that writer-director Ruth Platt’s (The Lesson) second feature, Martyr’s Lane, will help launch the label, and it’s being described as a psychologically-driven haunted house film. Kassman hopes to begin shooting in the summer of 2016.
“Working at Michael Kuhn’s Qwerty Films has been the perfect training for running a smart and ambitious film and TV company,” says Kassman. “Escape Plan is built on generating and acquiring only the most potent and original stories, catering for those audiences hungry for compelling entertainment. Right now I’m delighted to say that the first production will be maverick writer/director Ruth Platt’s second feature, Martyr’s Lane: a haunting, arresting horror shooting summer 2016.”
