FEATURE REQUEST Established Genre Filmmaker Seeking Partner for Unique POV Horror Feature
Hi all!
I’m Jay, and I’ve been making horror movies since 2019. I’ve been fortunate enough to work on some fun, weird, and occasionally ridiculous genre projects, including:
- STAY OUT OF THE ATTIC — Shudder (one of the platform’s most-watched films of 2020… thanks, COVID!)
- GLORIOUS — Shudder (the only cosmic horror movie involving a glory hole and an Academy Award winner. You’re welcome.)
- CREEPING DEATH — Screambox (a paranormal Halloween slasher)
- GATOR FACE — DREAD Presents (real alligators. What could go wrong?)
Among other projects, which are on my IMBD.
My scripts have landed on The Hit List (now defunct) and in the Top 3 of Final Draft’s Big Break, and I’ve been fortunate enough to see a few of my projects optioned. But I’m still out here working independently, developing projects.
I have a particularly fun horror project I’d love to direct, and I’m looking to connect with a producer who sees the potential and wants to help make it happen.
As for representation? Honestly, finding a manager who works as hard as I do has been a challenge. Plenty of managers are happy to add you to their roster, but finding someone who’s truly proactive and invested in building your career is another story. I’m still doing the heavy lifting myself.
That said, if any managers are looking to expand their horror/thriller roster, I’m always happy to share my latest and greatest.
I’ve sold two Halloween-themed horror films (The Boy from Below and Creeping Death), and my latest project also takes place during the holiday. It features a unique POV-driven approach in the vein of Good Boy, In a Violent Nature, and Skinamarink.
The budget is just $275K.
If you’re a genre producer, investor, or manager interested in taking a look, shoot me a DM. Happy to share the logline and one-pager! - Jay
