The latest release from Manipulative Media, titled Stalked with the subtitle Fathers Stalking Daughters, is directed by Levi Cash and Steven Escolar. Stalked is a vignette release that explores the dynamic of obsession from within the confines of the wildly popular taboo niche. A visually rich release, its pairings are suffused with tension and intrigue, as opposed to the typical two- or three-line setups as plot devices.
Fathers find themselves caught in a myriad of situations as they fall deeper into their obsessions with their step-daughters. The cast includes Sydney Cole, Marsha May, Lili Dixon and Rachael Madori. Tony DeSergio, Michael Masters and Tony D appear as the conflicted fathers.
Director Levi Cash said, “We set out to explore different things we can begin doing with the genre and wanted to focus more on mood and the scenarios presented by the script. It is a very visual piece and I am very proud of the shot selection we used. We wanted to create a creepy voyeuristic feel, and I think our cinematography really stands out.”
