Inspiration ➡️ Final Shot A Pride and Prejudice 2005 reference in a horror short? It’s more likely than you think. I couldn’t think of a more powerful introduction to our leading man in the film’s through line narrative than having him stride across the field Mr. Darcy style.

Inspiration ➡️ Final Shot If you know me, you know I love deep angles and Evil Dead. Instead in “The Second Circle” we go from a heroic stance to something a lot more menacing. 🤌🏻

Inspiration ➡️ Final Shot @shaymccleavy’s contribution shot inspiration wise turned out to be one of my favorites. We had to improvise and throw away the shot list after the bathroom proved to be an amazingly tight fit for four people.

Inspiration ➡️ Final Shot I absolutely love de Palma’s 1976 adaptation of Carrie, so naturally, I had to pull from that for “The Second Circle” for this little moment of shame mixed with emotional rawness.

The YouTube-to-Horror Feature Filmmaker pipeline is very real, but we must acknowledge who has access to it in the first place. YouTube is not a democratized platform, and we're doing the next generation of creatives a disservice by pretending it is www.slashfilm.com/2181604/back...

With all the buzz about YouTube creators becoming successful horror filmmakers, it's time to have a difficult conversation about YouTube as a platform.

We wanted to kick off this month with a special message about what we aim to do as filmmakers and a company. Personally, I think we have done a decent job at living up to this thus far, but we do hope to continue growing and maintaining a safe environment for everyone we work with.

We may have swayed at least one of our friends to be onboard with this one already based on premise alone. Well, and his character description. 😈 @jamiealvey.bsky.social

Watching this ANTM documentary has me reliving a lot, making me feel guilty and grotesque like I did when I was a preteen watching the actual show. It’s a lot for me to sit with, but I want to tackle this more, I think.
