Dead Meat creators James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca recently launched the horror anthology Fresh Meat. The film first enjoyed an exclusive one-night theatrical release on October 12 in 500 theaters. The movie generated nearly $300,000 in box office sales that night.
Exclusive Digital Streaming
Horror fans can now rent the terrifying anthology at home. Dead Meat partnered with the brand-new streaming platform Pijama. This unique website specifically supports independent filmmakers worldwide.
Uncovering Global Horror Talent
Earlier this year, the producers launched a massive talent search for rising horror filmmakers. First, creators submitted more than 500 original short horror films to the team. Next, the Dead Meat staff narrowed the pool to thirty selections. Then, judges carefully chose the top thirteen submissions for the final feature film. Meanwhile, James A. Janisse personally directed the overarching wraparound story segment. The chosen shorts feature directors from six different countries. These international locations include Canada, Japan, Australia, Austria, the Netherlands, and America.
Championing New Creators
Dead Meat and Hades Films joined forces to produce this collaborative anthology project. Both production companies also champion original, groundbreaking horror cinema. The team designed this competition to elevate promising new talents in the genre. Ultimately, Fresh Meat successfully connects visionary creators with a passionate global audience.
A New Service
Pijama is a new VOD platform that gives filmmakers a chance to reach audiences who otherwise wouldn’t find their films on traditional streaming services. This could be due to content, ratings, controversy, or other factors. Filmmakers can upload their own films directly to the service, bypassing the traditional distribution system. It keeps the film’s release in the filmmakers’ hands. There is no monthly subscription fee. Viewers rent or purchase only what they want.
