New Voices In Horror Slate Launches, First Project To Star ‘Queer’ Actor Colin Bates
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: New York-based indie film company CinemaStreet Pictures is launching the New Voices in Horror slate of films, company CEO Dana Offenbach has confirmed.
The slate will champion queer, female identifying, immigrant, and BIPOC voices and will consist of four-six films annually. Dhruv Sud, CinemaStreet’s Head of Development, will oversee the slate and report to Offenbach.

The first project in production is I Am Very Lonely, a genre-bending thriller from writer-director Anika Benkov (The Binding of Itzik) and starring Colin Bates (Queer) and Benkov.
