Heather Olt & Sarah Chaney Announce Launch of New Production Company, 6 With Heels Productions

Award-winning producers Sarah Chaney and Heather Olt are launching their female-driven Production Company, 6 With Heels Productions, LLC. The new company already has multiple projects in the works including the feature film, Fat Camp Massacre, written by Lindsay Hollister. This female driven, teen horror/comedy explores the concepts of bullying, body image, and friendship and will shoot in Ohio and Los Angeles this fall.

Fat Camp Massacre tells the story of an overweight OUTCAST and a popular cheerleader who are forced to attend a weight management camp as a last ditch effort to end their rivalry. There, they have to bury the hatchet when they discover a killer is stalking the camp. Liz Tuccillo (Take Care, How To Be Single, He's Just Not that Into You, Sex in the City) is attached to direct. Also attached are actresses Missi Pyle (Captain Fantastic, Gone Girl), Kate Flannery (The Office), & Christina Moore (Jessie, 90210). BIANCA Goodloe and Darren Richards are serving as legal counsel and Jami Rudofsky will cast the project.

The 6 With Heels Productions team will location scout in the Columbus, OH area and will sit in on the Ohio Film Summit on June 15th while also attending and supporting the Film Festival of Columbus. "We wanted to shoot this film in Ohio for multiple reasons. We want to pay homage to the great state from which we hail, utilizing the natural beauty of the area. Additionally, we want to support filmmaking in Ohio and encourage and employ other female filmmakers in the community," said Chaney & Olt.

They add, "Roughly half of our planet's population is comprised of women and it's time the entertainment industry recognizes & celebrates that. At 6 With Heels Productions, our mission is simple: women will make up at least half of the cast, crew and content of our multimedia productions."

Sarah Chaney and Heather Olt met in the summer of 2000 while performing at New York's Gateway Playhouse in a production of The Will Rogers Follies. They each have over twenty years experience as actresses on stage, tv/ film and are also award-winning producers and writers.
