Advice for first time filmmaking, from Blumhouse

Since upending the horror template almost a decade ago with Paranormal Activity, Blumhouse Productions has created new micro-budget genre franchises like Insidious, Sinister and The Purge while championing such challenging fare as the Oscar-winning Whiplash and the Emmy-winning The Normal Heart. Blumhouse’s model is built on the idea of giving filmmakers creative freedom by keeping budgets low. Founder Jason Blum convenes the team that helped build his company for a look at their film and television businesses as well as their production process from development, to physical production, to working with studios on marketing and distribution.
