About Us
The Blood Red Films team is well versed in nearly all genres of content production and is thoroughly connected within the ecosystem of film talent, financiers and international buyers and sellers. We have created a model for elevated, low budget horror films that cater specifically to how content distributors want to serve content to their customers that we believe can create predictably higher and more reliable returns than any other model in film- and we can thrill audiences and have a lot of fun while doing it.
There is tremendous evolution, uncertainty and opportunity in today’s media landscape. While giant conglomerates spend and earn huge sums, Blood Red Films has devised a model to supply content in high demand in a way the conglomerates are not, and can not do. This creates a rare low risk, high upside opportunity to participate in the content game with a micro-level capital commitment.
