MEAT the Movie: An Indiegogo Campaign
Filth. Horror. Glamour.
While you might typically associate those trio of words with your favorite drag monsters, they also perfectly encapsulate the upcoming queer-centric horror film by Rising Pulse Productions, MEAT. A blood-soaked whodunit, the film finds a group of queer individuals fighting for their lives against a studded (and studly) masked killer five years after a night of hard partying leaves someone dead and an innocent bystander in prison.
Directed by your friendly neighborhood “Scream Queer” Roger Connors, co-written by Conners and Zach Shildwachter, with cinematography by Mick Kunz, MEAT aims to serve you glitz and gore on a silver platter. The focus here is on true terror and suspense while deliciously draped in a high gloss aesthetic even the most critical of gay men would commend.
It isn’t family-friendly queer storytelling…the team behind MEAT wants you dripping in more ways than one.
If that sounds like your cup of tea, then MEAT needs your help in making your screens explode with visual stimulation and queer representation! Bringing such ambitions to life while looking stunning and fairly compensating the cast and crew isn’t cheap. The film’s producers have formulated a budget to help bring this movie into reality.
Its Indiegogo features a video by the creators, giving you a peek at the film’s package, and includes a tiered list of perks should you choose to contribute – and do make sure to read those perks descriptions for a good chuckle. Queer media often bears the burden of cliché or an obscenely low budget should it circumvent said tropes. MEAT desires to be the brooding and mysterious monster that surpasses expectations and captivates LGBTQ+ audiences and allies alike. The upper echelon of gay canon awaits.
Production is slated to begin in October 2022, so please spread the word about MEAT while the Indiegogo’s still got a heartbeat!
MEAT the Movie: Official Production Campaign | Indiegogo
Horror has, once again, proven it is the greatest force of positivity in the world of art today. Duplass Brothers Productions, known for its Creep franchise, has partnered with the Transgender Film Center to create the Found Footage Feature Fund. It was unveiled at Fantastic Fest, and promises an intersection of analog terror and empowered voices.
This is a fully financed, $25,000 grant for Trans filmmakers to tell original stories. The only criteria is that films should incorporate some element of found footage, collage, or other form of experimental media within their project. Mark Duplass, along with Trans Film Center Executive Sav Rodgers, says this is an opportunity not just to support independent storytellers, but to empower Trans filmmakers. A message we can totally get behind.
This fund is a phenomenal response to an era of discrimination, battling bigotry with action, art, and creativity.. The fund will open on October 23rd and close on November 7th. The grantee will be selected in December.

The V/H/S franchise is back and scarier than ever, just in time for the season of the witch. The series, which began with its initial entry in 2012, promises a new theme with each installment. Themes such as science-fiction, 1994, and 1999 have been covered, but this year’s may prove both the scariest and the most fun: Halloween. Even more exciting is, about two months after announcement, the trailer for V/H/S Halloween has finally been released.
The trailer is itself a total blast. Starting with a 90s-family-movie-esque voice over, the intro back to the Halloween commercials of the early 2000s. The viewer is welcomed to an array of nostalgic, seasonal costumes, decorations and animatronics, only to be blindsided by a switch to ominous music and bloody, grungy terror with autumnal flare. One could most likely expect possessions, masked killers and nightmare-inducing mascot characters. So far, this seems perfect for Goosebumps fans.
Directors for this installment include genre favorites Alex-Ross Perry, Paco Plaza, and more. V/H/S Halloween will be released on SHUDDER on October 3rd.
