SCALENE director Zack Parker has rounded up the cast for his next film, PROXY, which is a “European-style suspense-thriller that promises to challenge the traditional cinematic
form.” No small goal there!
PROXY is set to star a trio of lovelies: Alexia Rasmussen
(OUR IDIOT BROTHER), Alexa Havins (TORCHWOOD) Kristina Klebe (pictured right; Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN). Meanwhile, indie thesp Joe Swanberg (V/H/S, A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE) brings the man-action.
The plot: A very pregnant Esther Woodhouse (Rasmussen) is walking home after her latest OB
appointment, when she is brutally attacked and disfigured by a hooded assailant. When Esther
seeks consolation in a support group, she finds friendship and empathy in Melanie (Havins),
another mother scarred with tragedy. Esther soon begins to believe that the horrific event
might be a bittersweet act of fate. However, friendship and empathy can be very dangerous
things when accepted by the wrong people.
Make-Up artist James Ojala (TRUE BLOOD, HELLBOY II, LADY IN THE WATER, X-MEN:
LAST STAND) will lend a hand in the F/X department, while The Newton Brothers (SCALENE, DETACHMENT, with score
contributions to BABEL, DA VINCI CODE) will compose the score.
PROXY is set to begin production mid-July on location in Eastern Indiana.
