I CAN SEE YOU coming to DVD from Kino International
Glass Eye Pix is pleased to forward this fresh-out-of-the-gate press release to all our horror-minded friends. While we have been advertising the May 26 DVD release of Graham Reznick’s film through our partnership with Cinema Purgatorio, the success of our New York City theatrical run prompted our old friends at Kino International to snatch up the film and postpone the release for a Fall slot. While we are eager to get the film out to the fans, we couldn’t refuse the opportunity to get the film into a pipeline that would ultimately reach a wider audience. Keep your eyes peeled for more theatrical play dates leading up to our DVD street date in time for Halloween. Thanks for keeping an eye on I CAN SEE YOU and THE VIEWER!

KINO JOINS FORCES WITH LARRY FESSENDEN’S GLASS EYE PIX TO RELEASE THE HORROR FILM I CAN SEE YOU (2009) - ALONG WITH THE 3-D SHORT THE VIEWER - ON DVD.
Continuing its relationship with Larry Fessenden's Glass Eye Pix, Kino International is proud to announce the acquisition of Graham Reznick's debut feature I Can See You (along with his unreleased 3D short film The Viewer) for release on DVD and VOD. The deal was negotiated by Kino prexy Donald Krim, producer/filmmaker Larry Fessenden (from Glass Eye Pix) and Ray Privett (from Cinema Purgatorio).
Following the 2008 release of Ilya Chaiken's Liberty Kid and Ti West's Trigger Man, also produced by Glass Eye Pix, Kino International is now pleased to distribute the fifth in Larry Fessenden's low-budget horror ScareFlix anthology.
I Can See You has received outstanding reviews upon its May 09' theatrical premiere in New York City (handled by Cinema Purgatorio) and introduces a major cinematic talent to North American audiences. Director Graham Reznick has been compared to David Lynch and David Cronenberg, but it is his unique blend of avant-garde and genre cinema, combined with his low-budget aesthetic bravado, that is sure to put him on many directors-to-watch lists at the end of the year.
The New York Times critic Nathan Lee wrote that “I Can See You heralds a splendid new filmmaker with one eye on genre mechanics, one eye on avant-garde conceits and a third eye for transcendental weirdness." And horror Magazine Fangoria called Reznick’s debut film "one of the most intriguing and well crafted low budget horror films in recent memory."
Focusing on three young and ambitious ad-men who go on a weekend-wilderness trip to brainstorm for their first major assignment, I Can See You progressively descends into a nightmare of madness and sensory overload.
Assigned with the task of overhauling the image of a once popular cleaning product named Claractix, these three up-and-coming New Yorkers find themselves at odds with each other when a woman called Summer Day (played by Heather Robb, the lead singer of The Spring Standards) disrupts their creative explorations. Moreover, a bored girlfriend who had reluctantly joined them inexplicably disappears and a specter from Claractix past campaigns begins to haunt them in the woods – adding a touch of surrealism to this unique horror-in-the-wilderness film.
The film’s ad-men are played by real-life members of Waverly Films (Ben dickinson, Duncan Skiles and Chris Ford), a Brooklyn based production company specializing in commercials and music videos. Long-lost Claractix pitchman Mickey Hauser is played by producer Larry Fessenden.
This Kino International DVD release will also bring these companies’ first foray into the world of 3D cinema: The Viewer (2009) a brand new short film also written and directed by Graham Reznick, will be available as a special feature on the DVD for I Can See You – 3D glasses will be included with all DVDs.
Refereed to as “a telepathic interrogation experienced from the perspective of a suspected murderer,” The Viewer was shot using a special two-camera HD rig designed by cinematographer Gordon Arkenberg (I Can See You, The Meaning of Tea). Featuring a multi-dimensional soundscape by Graham Reznick, this unparalleled low-budget 3D film is a psychedelic feast for both the eyes and ears.
As special features, Kino’s I Can See You DVD comes with a behind-the-scenes featurette compiled by Larry Fessenden (titled I Can See you: A Closer Look), a director/actors commentary, a technical commentary for The Viewer, several deleted scenes and outtakes, as well as the film’s trailer and hidden “Easter eggs.”
Reznick is a Glass Eye Pix regular, having sound designed a number of past and current Scareflix releases including The Roost, Trigger Man, Automatons and I Sell The Dead, as well as JT. Petty's Blood Red Earth and Ti West's The House of The Devil. I Can See You was produced by fellow ScareFlix veteran Peter Phok.
Cinema Purgatorio, which is hoping to screen Reznick’s debut feature in traditional movie theaters, art centers, and horror movie conventions, will continue to handle the film’s theatrical release. I Can See You should play in five to ten additional theatrical markets before Kino releases its DVD in the Fall of 2009.
