Descrição
n this conversation, I sit down with Bigg Jah to talk about Curry Barker, Obsession, YouTube filmmakers, and what it really takes to turn an online audience into theatrical success.
Bigg Jah breaks down why Obsession worked, how Curry Barker’s existing YouTube fanbase helped fuel the momentum, and why the movie’s success is about more than just numbers. We get into the difference between making money on YouTube versus theaters, how horror films can break through without major stars, and why story, performance, promotion, and timing all have to line up.
We also talk about the new wave of filmmakers coming out of “YouTube University,” including creators like Curry Barker and the team behind Backrooms, and what their success could mean for indie filmmakers, comedy creators, and storytellers building their own audiences online.
