What Goes Into Making A Good Horror Movie?
Calling all LA-based filmmakers and horror lovers! Please join us in the NoHoArtsDistricts on Tuesday, January 22, 2019 from 7 pm to 9 pm. This two hour Q&A style class is $25.00 (tickets available only on Eventbrite).
Roger Corman was once quoted as saying “The safest genre is the horror film. But the most unsafe – the most dangerous – is comedy.” Is this true? What is the horror genre capable of? What goes into making a good horror movie? Is it mostly cheap scares or can a deep story exist with a scary movie?
Do horror movies vary from basic, intermediate, to the esoteric? Are anthology films smart for a first time director or should they be left to a more seasoned director to tackle? What are some of the best super-low-budget horror tricks that can save your production hundreds of dollars? What should the independent horror filmmaker focus on when attempting to get a production off of the ground? What do financiers look for? How do you make the most of a small crew and budget that you have?
In this 2-hour Q&A style event, horror filmmaker James Cullen Bressack will help you navigate the ins-and-outs of being a horror filmmaker (whether it’s your own production or as a director-for-hire). His 61 producer, 38 writer and 34 directors credits show his intense commitment to his work. He’s grown up around the business and he’s still several years shy of turning 30.

WHERE: 5628 Vineland Ave. North Hollywood, CA 91601
