Today I’m joined by writer/director MJ Dixon.
MJ has directed so many shorts and features I struggled to find the exact number but they include;
Slasher House (2012), Legacy or Thorn (2014), Cleaver: Rise of the Killer Clown (2015), Hollower (2016), Slasher House 2 (2016), The Haunting of Molly Bannister (2019), Mask of Thron (2019), Pandamonium (2020), Slasher House 3 (2024).
MJ runs UK Production company Mycho Pictures with his wife Anna and has created an entire horror universe. I chatted to MJ about how he crowd funds his feature films, his top things to consider if you're thinking of crowd funding, his advice for directors and some war stories about sales and distribution.
