As a captivated admirer, I’d like to share my thoughts on “Eye for an Eye,” a gripping tale jointly crafted by Elisa Victoria and Michael Tully. This compelling story revolves around me, Anna – a young woman grappling with the shocking demise of my parents in New York. In a bid to find solace, I move to a quaint Florida town to live with my distant grandmother. Facing isolation, vulnerability, and yearning for companionship, I stumble upon brief comfort in the company of two local teenagers.

However, once she participates in their unpardonable violent act, she falls prey to the clutches of Mr. Sandman – a distorted spirit of a troubled youngster who torments the bully’s nightmares and ultimately consumes their eyes upon awakening.

This feature is developed by a team consisting of Rachael Fung from Fremont, Nate Kamiya from Between the Temples, Tim Headington from Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and Theresa Steele Page from The Green Knight. They are all representing Ley Line Entertainment in this project.

The negotiation for the deal took place between Elizabeth Williams, Chief Commercial Officer at Signature Entertainment, and Nicole Mackey, Head of Sales at HanWay Films.

Williams announced: “It’s fantastic to join forces once more with our enduring collaborators at HanWay Films for this chilling revenge story, which promises to disturb the sleep of UK and Irish viewers toward the end of this year.
