New Genre Label Making Horror Announces Three Upcoming Films
Production companies that focus on horror movies are near and dear to our hearts, and a new one has just been formed that already has three projects in the works. Read on to learn more about Making Horror and its first announced film, Dismissed.
From the Press Release:
BoulderLight Pictures, the company behind the Contracted franchise and the upcoming Dementia for IFC Films, has formed a partnership with Hong Kong-based financiers Making Film Limited on a three-picture slate of films that Making Film will fully finance. This joint venture is a new international genre label dubbed “Making Horror” and will focus on horror and thriller films, primarily in the seven-figure budget range. Making Film is the production company of powerhouse Hong Kong director Pang Ho-Cheung, who will serve as executive producer on each film. The company will serve as investor and collaborator on each title.
The first project on tap for the label will be the thriller DISMISSED, written by Brian McAuley and produced by J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures, who are teaming up with Sev Ohanian (Fruitvale Station, Results). The film will shoot this month in Los Angeles with a high-profile cast soon to be announced. It marks the feature directorial debut of Benjamin Arfmann, who previously directed the acclaimed SXSW short Random Stop.
Story details are currently being kept under wraps, and worldwide sales will be split between BoulderLight and Hong Kong’s Bravos Pictures Limited.
“We are beyond thrilled to be working with Pang and Making Film on this exciting slate. They are ideal collaborators, and we look forward to working with them on bringing smart, edgy content to a global audience,” said Lifshitz and Margules.
Ho-Cheung is one of Hong Kong’s premiere film directors and producers, with his latest film, the critically acclaimed Women Who Flirt, a major success in China and other overseas markets.
