Garrett will report to Good Deed’s Executive Vice President of Production and Distribution, Andy Myers, who tells Deadline that the company’s new hire “has an incredible passion for the breed of indie cinema that fuels GDE: the offbeat, the breathtaking, the movies that stick with you. His skill, experience, and vision are the perfect fit to lead our new production slate.”
Good Deed’s production arm will look to bolster film production in Ohio, where the company has been based since its 2019 departure from Los Angeles, empowering filmmakers to take advantage of state infrastructure including motion picture tax credits, production services, tax credit financing and distribution.
First up on the company’s slate is Fresh Hell, a three-film horror anthology series from writer-director Quinn Armstrong (Survival Skills), to be produced by Myers and Garrett, with Aaron Mack’s Genre Labs co-producing. The trilogy will be released under GDE’s genre label, Cranked Up Films, which has previously distributed such titles as Gillian Wallace Horvat’s Independent Spirit Award-nominated genre-bender I Blame Society and and Colin West’s Double Walker.
