“I’m so excited to be working on my second film with OneFox Productions and to be working with my mom Cher is an extra bonus,” said Bono, whose credits include American Horror Story and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Little Bites follows Mindy (Fox), a young widow and mother who tries to protect her daughter Alice (Elizabeth Caro) from a flesh eating monster named Agyar (Jon Sklaroff). Mindy has been secretly sacrificing her own life by allowing the creature to feast on her body as she keeps Alice hidden away at her grandmother’s house.

“This film serves as a dark metaphor for parenthood and protecting your children at all costs. The stakes are high and the outcome is terrifying and gruesome,” Fox said. “I’ve never taken on a character quite like Mindy. Her emotional toll is heavy and it feels as though the world is against her. She’s a hero in the way that any loving parent is. She does whatever it takes to protect her child. I can’t wait to work with this iconic cast and team to bring Spider’s incredible vision for this film to life.”

The cast also includes Lyndsi LaRose and Mark Kelly. Along with Cher and Bono, OneFox Productions is joined by executive producers Ian Hoge, Tyler Connolly and Wendy and Mark Berry. Dan Rozenblum of 33 and West is the sales agent for the film.

“To be surrounded and supported by such legendary talent and producing partners is quite honestly a surreal experience. There could not be a better team to help me realize the terrifying and heartbreaking tale,” Spider One said.
