Over the past 15 years, I’ve witnessed the landscape of independent filmmaking change dramatically… particularly within the horror genre.
At first, like many, I believed in the idea of “the marketplace” that if you made a great film, it would find its way to an audience through the traditional system of sales agents, festivals, and distributors.
But hard lessons, real-world experience, and the challenges of today’s streaming landscape have shown me that this system is broken. That’s why I’ve written a deeper, more personal statement over on the Amicus Horror website:
In that piece, I share what led to the strategic shift at Hex Studios, the decline of traditional indie film markets, and why I now believe the only future for independent horror lies in artists building their own ecosystems.
I hope it resonates with fellow filmmakers and horror fans alike. We can’t wait for permission anymore… we have to create it ourselves… and we shall with the British Horror Studio.
