Skaneateles, N.Y. — A Central New York resident has a new movie in the works 5,000 miles away, and the journey from script to screen is somehow even longer.
Zack Ford, 38, of Skaneateles, wrote the screenplay for an upcoming horror flick called “The Watcher.” The film centers on a young couple who moves into a new apartment, and the woman suspects someone is watching them through his window across the street and may be a serial killer called the Headhunter.
Award-winning filmmaker Chloe Okuno is set to make her feature-length directorial debut with the project, which is currently scouting locations in the country of Romania. Producers include Roy Lee (Stephen King’s “It”), Mason Novick (”Juno”) and Steven Schneider (”Paranormal Activity”).
