Production

Life in a Glass House is a 7-minute psychological science-fiction thriller written by Dirk Manning and directed by Austin McKinley. It was filmed in 2011 at the SMR Aggregates quarry in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, and at Intermedia Studios in downtown Sarasota, Florida. The film’s eye-popping special effects — created by VFX artist Zach Reynolds — took a year and a half to complete. The film was produced by Sherrie McKinley and Brianne Zulauf.
