Article Summary
- NEON has unveiled the official trailer for Shelby Oaks, the directorial debut of Chris Stuckmann.
- The film’s production was crowdfunded on Kickstarter, earning just under $1.4 million from fans.

Whenever someone jumps on the internet and tries to criticize a movie, there is always that one group of people who throw out the whole, "If you think you're so high and mighty, let's see the movie you make." The reality is that a decent portion of film critics don't have any desire to make their own movies because writing reviews and making movies are two very different things. That doesn't mean all of us, though, and YouTuber and film critic Chris Stuckmann absolutely made that jump.
Shelby Oaks is an interesting little production in that the story of how it came to be is becoming more and more common. In mid-2021, the project was officially announced, but by early 2022, the production had to be pushed back due to a lack of funds. Stuckmann had a lot of YouTube subscribers, so a Kickstarter launch to help get things off the ground makes complete sense. The campaign was launched in March 2022 and ended with just under $1.4 million raised. NEON picked up the distribution rights for the film right before its premiere at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival. NEON made a smart decision and scheduled the film for an early October release date because it's a horror movie. The redband and greenband trailers for the film were released today, along with four creepy-looking posters.
