Interview With Ben Franklin: The Creator Of Bloody Cuts Horror

Indie Horror has exploded.

A multi-million pound budget and excessive marketing is no longer a primary catalyst of popularity.  More and more, be it in film, books or video games, we have seen a huge influx of new horror experiences, created by people purely for the love of this captivating genre.

It’s what we love at New Rising Media, and Bloody Cuts is a perfect personification of this paradigm shift in horror.  I talked to Ben Franklin, Creator, Producer and Editor of this series about how he got started, the technology used to produce these amazing short films, and what is needed to replicate his (and the entire team’s) success.
