Director Mike Zarra joins Filmmaker Mixer to break down the making of Horrified — from crafting psychological tension to executing horror on an indie budget. He shares the creative decisions, production challenges, and post-production strategies that shaped the film’s final cut. Joining the conversation is Jennifer Howell, founder of The Art of Elysium and the film’s fiscal sponsor. Together, they discuss nonprofit partnerships, funding structures, and how fiscal sponsorship can empower independent filmmakers. If you’re developing a genre film, navigating indie financing, or preparing for festival screenings, this episode offers practical insight into how films actually get made — and supported.
