American Dollhouse was produced by David Axe, Samuel Butler, Shane Greb along with Jon Wroblewski, and Christian Sosa of Austin-based production company Roosevelt Film Lab. Cinematographer is Taylor Camarot. Executive producers are Amado DeHoyos, Richard C. Jones, Shane Greb, Stephan Jensen, Elizabeth Spear, Hector Acosta, Dan Lenker, Zebulon “Ziggy” Griggs and Melissa Sellers Drake.
John Valley first gained attention with his debut feature The Pizzagate Massacre, which earned a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was described by Vice as “a grindhouse Pizzagate satire that perfectly captures a moment in time.” With American Dollhouse, he leans into psychological horror, delivering a modern riff on proto-slasher touchstones like Psycho and Black Christmas while exploring themes of grief, obsession, and fractured identity.
