(NEWS) TERROR FILMS Teams With Vertical Platform MICROHOUSE FILMS
For years, Terror Films Releasing has been helping redefine what independent horror can achieve. Long before many of today's cult classics found their audiences, Terror Films recognized the potential in bold, unconventional filmmakers and gave their stories a platform. By championing films like the "Hell House LLC" Franchise, "The Taking of Deborah Logan,""Patient Seven," and "Savageland," the company has helped elevate independent horror into some of the genre's most celebrated modern success stories. Now, as the way audiences consume entertainment continues to evolve, Terror Films is once again embracing the future. Their latest partnership with Microhouse Films demonstrates that they're not only changing how horror is produced and distributed, but also how fans discover and experience it, ensuring the next generation of indie horror reaches viewers wherever they're watching. They recently sent me some news regarding a new partnership that is going to take our fandom of their work to the next level. Here is the news!
FROM THE TERROR FILMS RELEASING PRESS RELEASE:
Terror Films Releasing, the digital genre distributor behind indie horror gems such as the "Hell House LLC Franchise,""Patient Seven,""The Taking of Deborah Logan,""Savageland," and more, has teamed up with the newly launched vertical platform, Microhouse Films, to bring select content to its vertical platform. Autumn Federici, Co-Founder of Microhouse Films, had this to say about the collaboration:
"Microhouse Films was created to give filmmakers more ways to distribute, monetize, and extend the reach of their work. Joe Dain and Terror Films have long been committed to supporting independent filmmakers, making them a natural partner as we bring exceptional independent films to the vertical format. These stories now have the opportunity to reach a new generation of mobile-first viewers while creating additional revenue opportunities for filmmakers."
Microhouse, which officially launched on July 7, is a creator-driven entertainment studio developing premium vertical storytelling experiences for mobile-first audiences.

Microhouse Films has no subscription fee and requires no fee to upload or host content. Through an ad-free model, filmmakers can choose which episodes to offer for free and which to place behind a credit-based system, retaining control over pricing, release strategy, and revenue.
Microhouse Films was founded by Taye Diggs, Autumn Federici, Shelby Stone, James Black, and Troy Brookins.
"The rise of the micro vertical format is one of the biggest shifts in digital media since streaming began, and Microhouse is offering access to independent content in a way we have yet to see in this space. This is a strategic step toward sharing our incredible indie filmmakers' content with the masses in this popular format, and we're thrilled to be working with the Microhouse team," stated TFR CEO, Joe Dain.
