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.
