Trailer: SCREAMFEST to World Premiere Paranoid Thriller GLASS CABIN
For a chilling take on classic cabin-on-the-woods horror tropes, check out the trailer embedded at the top of the article for Glass Cabin. From filmmaking duo Maya Korn and Can Türedi, Glass Cabin will enjoy its World Premiere at Screamfest LA on October 13th.
Synopsis:
In Glass Cabin, Scarlett, a tennis player staying at an isolated cabin in the woods, struggles with paranoia after becoming convinced that the caretaker of the rented place has malicious intentions for her. The film seeks to provoke the exploration of relatable themes of paranoia and isolation in adverse weather circumstances. Who is the home invader? Does he exist or is it merely in the character’s mind?
“This story really spoke to me as a woman. Sometimes we just don’t feel safe when a man catcalls us or approaches us. I recognized the paranoia of our character Scarlett,” says executive producer Maya Korn. “Of course, there’s also something really intriguing in the ambiguity established in this story. We don’t know if the caretaker means Scarlett harm or is he just stranded in a snowstorm as he pretends to be. I find that this film perfectly captures that ambivalence,” she adds.
Maya Korn was fascinated by director Can Türedi’s work, whose interest in storytelling revolves around the themes of isolation and paranoia in the psychological thriller genre. When Maya selects the projects and filmmakers that she wants to support, story is always her main focus.
“My background is an English Literature BA, Film Theory MA and Filmmaking MFA which has given me an academic way of approaching projects and respect for story over financial viability. I see myself as a creative partner, developing the story with the director, however long it takes,” Maya Korn explains. “As a woman, female stories are very important to me, which is why I was attracted to the script of Glass Cabin,” she concludes.
