Is anyone else noticing the alarming amounts of black children meeting absolutely gruesome ends in America lately because I feel like it’s been an abnormal amount. Not to mention those African babies getting tortured bc of the Natasha doll trend.
Taking your project from an indie YouTube series to the big screen is already massive, but keeping original vision and authenticity by writing and directing it yourself almost never happens at this scale. Genuinely an insane achievement.
This is the kind of dream many internet creators strive for, and as someone who spent years solo grinding entire projects, seeing that actually materialize for another creator is really inspiring.
Hopefully, Backrooms receiving this level of acclaim and commercial success sends a clear message to the industry: creator-led projects can reach incredible results when given the right opportunity and support.
Huge respect to Kane, A24, and everyone involved.
