PRETTY BOY: "PRETTY BOY, the follow up to the award-winning film BLIND, has completed principal photography. PRETTY BOY, directed by Marcel Walz and written by Joe Knetter, continues the story they set in motion in BLIND.
Pretty Boy just finished the Post Production with Company 3 (Joker, Wonder Woman)
MARCEL WALZ (Director)
“Filming PRETTY BOY the way we did was a dream comes true for me. It is beautiful, fun, gory and creepy. Seeing our Killer, “PRETTY BOY”, slashing through this love letter to the 80s is what I have always wanted to do! Also, as an LGBTQ Director, I could go crazy on set design for the Valentine’s party and overall theme in the movie, so be prepared for a lot of pinks, glitter and some intestines Lol!“
JOE KNETTER (Writer)
“Filming PRETTY BOY was an amazing experience. Every single person on the cast and crew brought their ‘A’ game. Getting back on set safely was our number one priority and we worked hard to make sure it was a great experience for everyone. The sets we built at Wolfpack Studios took me right back to that world we previously set up. I will admit, the first time I saw Faye and Pretty Boy back together I teared up a bit. BLIND is our version of a slow-burn 70’s style drama/suspense film. PRETTY BOY is a total 80’s horror slasher.”
