Chris Gore & Film Threat

Disruptive Champions for Emerging Filmmakers

Welcome back to The Mine Podcast, as we continue to take a deeper dive into the independent film landscape.  

I am excited to be joined today by Chris Gore, the Publisher and Editor of Film Threat. From a printed magazine in the 1980s to a thriving digital media business today, Film Threat has maintained its unflinching support of independent filmmakers.

“Film Threat’s mission is to champion up and coming indie filmmakers while speaking truth to the entertainment industry.”

Topics Included:

  • How indie film champion Film Threat has evolved, from Film Reviews & Features to Videos and Special Events.

  • The current movie and TV landscape, and how the lines are blurring for indies and studios.  

  • The Festival Game has changed, and may not play the same role. 

  • How the streaming universe has disrupted the playing field, yet with the right marketing, filmmakers generate a profit with their projects. 

  • We share our picks for new and classic Halloween fare, from cult classics to newer psychological thrillers.
