Dwyer (Nightmare Cinema) for A Group of Ferrets, Zach Hagen (“What We Do in the Shadows”), and Sabrina Munik (Locked) for Pink Flamingos Films.

Verve Ventures and UTA Independent Film Group are co-representing North American sales.
O’Hara created and starred in “Doomsday,” earning an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Daytime Fiction Program. More recently, she helmed the supernatural thriller Mid-Century with Shane West, Stephen Lang, and Bruce Dern.
