Bloody Disgusting & The Collective Launch ‘Film Finishing Fund’; Indie Filmmakers Finish Your Projects!
Aspiring Genre Movie Directors Invited to Submit Their Nearly Complete Projects!
Bloody Disgusting, in association with leading entertainment management and production company, The Collective, announced a film finishing fund created to provide promising genre filmmakers with the financial resources needed to complete their independent films. Selected movies will receive up to $100,000 in funds and filmmakers will also be provided the opportunity for distribution through the Bloody Disgusting Selects brand of horror films, which includes cult favorites Rammbock: Berlin Undead, The Woman and YellowBrickRoad.
The submission period is rolling and information and forms can be downloaded HERE.
Optimal film candidates for selection will be nearly finished and feature length (70-110 minutes). Awarded funds would be designated for post-production needs including sound mixing, scoring, securing music rights, color grading, computer graphics, editing visual effects, or other post-production needs. Film submissions should fall into the horror, sci-fi, thriller, suspense, slasher, cult, fantasy, supernatural or found footage categories.
“We are very excited to support the next generation of talented independent filmmakers who are creating work outside of the Hollywood system. We believe this new breed of filmmakers are the future of genre filmmaking,” said Gary Binkow, Partner at The Collective.
The film finishing fund is launching on the heels of the success of another Bloody Disgusting produced feature, V/H/S. Prospective films chosen to receive finishing funds, such as financing, would be contingent on Bloody Disgusting and The Collective participating in its ownership, distribution and marketing.
