Cool. Don’t think I’ve seen any local press on this:
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—A local animation studio is teaming with students from the Rhode Island School of Design to create a first-of-its-kind computer-animated horror movie.
The Providence-based studio, The Story Hat, is planning to begin preproduction this week on the movie called Bloodline, according to the Providence Journal.
The movie tells the story of tattoos that grow and change, wreaking havoc on the people who bear them.
Director Michael Corrente says he hopes the movie puts Rhode Island on the map as an animation headquarters.
The studio estimates that the film could give jobs to as many as 200 people at peak production.

Is this one of Corrente’s Scream Writing competition winners?? He never answered any requests for updates on the winners, and I haven’t seen anything.
