Production begins next week in Timmins, Ontario, on Ashley McColeman’s horror feature No Boys Allowed.
Toronto-based Hlibka Entertainment Inc. (HEI) and Interiority Entertainment are producing the project as part of a three-film horror slate they will produce over the next 18 months. HEI, also the owner and operator of Toronto-based Big Picture Cinemas, is planning a theatrical and digital release for fall 2014.
The film, which is written and directed by McColeman, is led by a female cast including Emma Jean Sutherland and Kylah Eide.
No Boys Allowed tells the story of four high school friends who spend a week every summer at a lakeside cottage having fun. This year, however, they’ll spend the week trying to survive a vicious killer lurking in the woods.
“No Boys Allowed promises to be a sexy bloody massacre in the style of an ’80s teen slasher film. It features a cast of female leads in daring roles that we feel will really capture the fans of the genre,” said McColeman in a statement.
The film’s producers launched a month-long Indiegogo campaign in August to raise funding for transportation to and from the shooting location, and netted just over its $3,000 goal.
No Boys Allowed is shooting from Sept. 23 to Oct. 15, 2013.
