FEATURED in Rue Morgue!
By MICHAEL GINGOLD
Soon there will be one place to go to view hundreds of found-footage fright films.
Toronto-based producers Louie La Vella and Monica La Vella will launch FOUND, a streaming service and FAST channel devoted to found-footage horror, in October, dropping a new film on each of its 31 days. The platform will ultimately showcase hundreds of titles covering all manner of vérité fear fare, including mock documentaries, screenlife movies, POV features and more, and give fans the opportunity to engage with and celebrate these movies.
The La Vellas have experience with the form, having released the screenlife chiller INVITED with Terror Films. “Being filmmakers ourselves,” Monica says, “we know the ins and outs of filmmaking and want to be able to support fellow filmmakers and all our dedicated fans with one platform that’s truly involved in the genre.”
