Distributing Six Horror Features with Calvin McArthy
Manage episode 396948319 series 3450747
On this episode I’m talking with Calvin McArthy of Seventh Street Productions. Over the past decade, Calvin and his team have made six low-budget horror features, and still going strong. Calvin takes us through his filmmaking journey, starting out with his roots as an actor, then shifting to behind the camera with shorts and a horror anthology feature. A few films later Calvin formed a relationship with Breaking Glass Pictures, a Philadelphia-based distributor, who continues to put out Calvin’s films to this day with mockbuster titles such as Conjuring: The Beyond, and his latest, Insidious Inferno. Calvin and I discuss a number of topics relevant to filmmakers wrestling with distribution strategies today, including common pitfalls and what to look for when signing a favorable distribution deal.
