Weithorn wrote and directed his first feature, called A Little Help. He scored in a couple ways with the cast, which features Jenna Fischer along with Kim Coates, Lesley Ann Warren, Aida Turturro and Chris O’Donnell. But the film turned out as a classically middle of the road indie drama that played at a couple festivals (starting with the Seattle FF in May 2010) and then sat around waiting for a distributor to throw it some love....

‘Stage Fright’ Trailer: Found Footage Teen Horror Film Set In Drama Department By Germain Lussier/Aug. 14, 2012 10:30 am EST Horror has always been a genre where going meta was met with success.

The new film, Stage Fright, takes that kind of meta-self-awareness even further....
