About Shelby Oaks Movie:
Shelby Oaks is an American supernatural horror mystery film produced, written and directed by Chris Stuckmann in his feature film directorial debut. It stars Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, Robin Bartlett, Keith David, Charlie Talbert, Emily Bennett and Sarah Durn. The film is produced by Aaron B. Koontz and Paper Street Pictures.
In July 2021, YouTuber and film critic Chris Stuckmann signed on to write and direct a supernatural horror mystery film titled Shelby Oaks for Paper Street Pictures.
Principal photography commenced on May 9, 2022, and concluded on June 5. Filming took place in various locations in and around Cleveland, Ohio, including Greenwood Farm, Ohio State Reformatory, Chippewa Lake Park, and Cleveland Public Library.
Initially, the production was set to begin in late 2021 but was delayed due to insufficient funds and a potential strike between the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).
On March 21, Shelby Oaks became the most-funded horror film on Kickstarter after raising $650,000. When the campaign finished after one month, a total sum of $1,390,845 was pledged by 14,720 supporters.
Shelby Oaks had its world premiere at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival on July 20, 2024, where it competed as part of the “New Flesh 2024 Competition Titles”. The film is set to have screenings in Austin, Texas; Cleveland, Ohio; Los Angeles, California; and New York City, New York.
In June 2024, Stuckmann signed with The Gersh Agency, for representation in film, including Shelby Oaks. In July 2024, Neon acquired worldwide distribution rights to the film.
