Producers Nick Bird<\/strong> and Amy Heppe<\/strong> are helping to utilize the extensive farmlands around the childhood home of writer\/director Ryan E. Heppe<\/strong> to stage a scene wherein Eighties teenagers Glen (Brian M. Jones<\/strong>) and Lucy (Tatiana Javorsky<\/strong>) have a late-night tryst that is cut short by a living scarecrow (Lucas Heppe<\/strong>)<\/span><\/a>. Moonlighting technicians from WILL-TV<\/strong>, where Heppe worked briefly before moving to California<\/strong>, make up the crew along with craftspeople from the Chicago<\/strong> area. After a handful of festival appearances, STALKED<\/strong> vanished and a feature film version never materialized for Heppe\u2019s company Knighttime Pictures<\/strong>.
