Like all of us, horror creatives have spent quarantine re-evaluating the way they connect and network in what has become a largely virtual world for the past year-plus. Clubhouse, the iOS social media app that facilitates communication through an audio-only platform, has grown into a new meeting ground for the horror community, with folks like Barbara Crampton, Jed Shepherd and many more getting together to share their experiences and talk movies. Some of that networking has manifested into Sinphony, a horror anthology produced by Sebastien Bazile and the first film to be born out of Clubhouse!
Bazile – who is producing with his partner Michael Galvan and financing through their company Screen Anthology with Scott Norvell – tells me that Sinphony is "in production at the moment from all over the world: UK, Canada, US, Sidney," and he exclusively shared the poster and a few images, as well as a breakdown of each segment!
"Limited Edition," Mark Pritchard's segment of Sinphony.
