Lynn Lowry and Duane Whitaker Short Horror Movie "Eggs" is Funding Now on Kickstarter

October 25, 2014 - Director Ryan Stockstad has partnered with producer Gui Pereira to make the short horror movie Eggs with Lynn Lowry and Duane Whitaker from a screenplay by Stockstad and Jon Rosenberg. The filmmakers have launched a campaign on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter to raise $30,000 of the project's budget.

"Eggs is a psychological horror movie about loneliness and madness taken to extreme consequences.", said Ryan Stockstad, founder of Crowned Prince Productions. "It's about what can happen when otherwise good people ignore the suffering of others."

Screenwriter Jon Rosenberg adds, "What makes Eggs truly frightening is that it could happen. And it actually does. It culminates in a bloody finale that is not too far removed from what you hear about almost every day on the evening news."

"I'm certain this short film will win plenty of awards.", said Eggs star Lynn Lowry. "It's one of the most unique scripts I've ever read." Co-star Duane Whitaker adds, "A project this good is rare. I can't wait to see it made!"

Lynn Lowry is a respected horror icon having appeared in over 25 horror movies, including David Cronenberg's first feature film Shivers, the George A. Romero classic The Crazies, the enduring cult classic I Drink Your Blood, and Paul Schrader's inventive 1982 remake of Cat People. She recently appeared in Severin Films co-founder David Gregory's horror anthology film The Theatre Bizarre, and the Asylum Films ghost story The Haunting of Whaley House.

Duane Whitaker is perhaps best known for his performance in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction as Maynard, the menacing proprietor of the Mason Dixon Pawn Shop. He has also appeared in From Dusk Till Dawn 2 (which he also co-wrote), Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Project Greenlight 3 genre effort Feast, Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects, Rob Zombie's Halloween 2, and many others.

Also attached to the project are Julia Lehman (Cheerleader Massacre 2, Volcano Zombies), G Larry Butler (Frankenstein vs. the Creature from Blood Cove), Maetrix Fitten (Hancock), Carl Solomon (The Video Dead), Marc Fajardo (Little Paradise), and Tina Molina (Panman).

Eggs represents Ryan Stockstad's 8th movie project in two years, following the award-winning 48 Hour Film Project Press COOK, the romantic paintball comedy Walk-Ons, the Ouija Board horror short Black Ribbon, and the eight-part web series Necessary Measures.

Gui Pereira recently produced and directed two award-winning short films: The Adventures of Sheriff Kid McLain in 2012, and Pizza Me, Mafia in 2013.

The filmmakers have chosen to raise funds on Kickstarter to better retain their creative freedom and reach a larger section of horror movie fans than might otherwise be available to them. In exchange for financial pledges, they're offering a number of valuable rewards, including DVDs, BluRays, t-shirts, posters, books, autographs, invitations to private events, producer credits, and more!

Eggs was recently chosen by the Kickstarter staff to be listed as a Kickstarter Staff Pick. The campaign will run now through November 7th, 2014. For more information, please visit www.kickstarter.com/projects/hollywoodpsychic/eggs-a-horror-movie.
