Watch one of the highest-rated sessions of BSS2024!! Danny Philippou and Steve Newall discuss what it’s like to be in the middle of a Sundance bidding war for distribution rights, horror tropes, and what actors need to bring characters to fruition. YouTubers Danny Philippou and his twin brother Michael wrote and directed Talk To Me, their first horror feature, achieving gross international sales of over US$92 million, making it A24’s second-highest-grossing film.

Making Horror – Talk to Me was a live video conversation held at the Big Screen Symposium in Auckland on 5 and 6 of April 2024.
