New Horror Feature to Be Shot Entirely on VHS (Exclusive) James Cullen Bressack, once a low-budget horror fixture, returns to the genre with 'I Have Proof' after spending a decade largely in the action space.

James Cullen Bressack returns to his #horror roots with I HAVE PROOF. Prioritizing raw texture over modern polish, the film is shot entirely on recycled VHS-C tapes to create an analog experience that AI could never replicate.

As a Backrooms fan, I was afraid the A24 movie would get the viral series wrong. The first teaser gave me hope. No SCPs in sight, and every liminal element that made the Backrooms such a phenomenon.

The A24 #film #BACKROOMS adapts 17yo creator/director Kane Parsons' viral found footage YouTube series—exploring the unsettling maze of liminal spaces while prioritizing psychological dread over jump scares.

How Markiplier’s ‘Iron Lung’ Proved the Studios Wrong: “There Is Still a Stigma Against YouTube” The filmmaker and longtime YouTube personality tells The Hollywood Reporter about self-distributing the surprise horror hit after meeting with studio execs who "were 100 percent not about me."

Markiplier bypassed the studio system to self-distribute #IronLung after being met with industry skepticism. The gamble paid off with a $17M opening weekend – proving that an #indie creator with a $3M budget can outmaneuver major studio releases.
