We love a good horror film here at Roadmap. The adrenaline, the suspense, the scares! Horror's one of the oldest genres around, so how is it that these movies are still able to get an emotional response out of us? We would think that we've seen all the tricks in the books by the 100th time we've thrown our popcorn in a theater or squeezed the life out of our loved ones' hand on the couch. But they still get us.
To break down why horror movies work the way they do (and to give you the tools to make sure your film works just as well as the classics), Roadmap welcomes Kelly Gallagher to the webinar stage!
This 90 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- The mechanics of a horror plot
- Building and maintaining tension
- Creating compelling characters
Born in suburban South Jersey to two mostly normal people who love a good drive-in B-movie, Kelly Gallagher attended Boston University, where she studied Film/TV and English, primarily focusing on Film Studies, Screenwriting, and Physical Production. After graduating, she got her start in the business at management company Industry Entertainment working in the Television Literary Department, and as a Script Reader for the Paradigm Agency. She then joined the film and television development arm of indie comic book company Oni Press, where she worked on book-to-film projects such as David Leitch's ATOMIC BLONDE and Co-Produced the Chris Hemsworth hit EXTRACTION, Netflix's most-watched original film. Since joining the rebooted Dark Castle, Kelly has been able to fulfill her blood-and-guts dreams working with the iconic horror brand. She recently Co-Produced Simon Barrett's directorial debut SEANCE starring Suki Waterhouse and Inanna Sarkis (RLJE/Shudder), Mary Harron's THE EXPECTING starring AnnaSophia Robb and Rory Culkin (Quibi/Roku), and Dark Castle's upcoming prequel to 2009's cult hit ORPHAN, ORPHAN:FIRST KILL, which stars Julia Stiles and Isabelle Fuhrman reprising her iconic role.
Kelly was the most prepared exec I've ever seen. She was informative and her passion for horror was so clear in the depth of knowledge she shared. Plus she has so much energy! This was far and away the best webinar I've ever attended.
