The Mortuary Assistant director Jeremiah Kipp has wrapped production on the supernatural horror film Faceless, Deadline has learned.
Bella Mraz, James Preston (“The Bay”), Holley Johnson, and Ryan Bertroche star as a group of YouTube ghost-hunters who encounter an evil force in the Cambodian jungle.
The recently completed film was shot on location in Cambodia. It marks the first English-language production from Cambodia’s Sastra Film International.
Kipp penned the script, based on a story by Sastra founder Bun Channimol.
Sastra is bringing Faceless to the Cannes film market, currently underway, and is in talks with global distributors.
“We’ve spent more than a decade building Sastra Film into Cambodia’s largest studio,” said Channimol. “Cannes is where we introduce our production quality to the rest of the world.”
“The studio’s horror films draw from Cambodian folklore and cultural traditions that share DNA with Southeast Asian genre cinema, both of which have built significant international followings,” added Jerry Koedding, managing director of sales rep Wave Films.
