Flickering Myth Films is the production arm of Flickering Myth, one of the UK’s leading independent entertainment platforms. Built on almost two decades of audience engagement in film journalism and criticism, Flickering Myth Films develops and produces commercially focused genre features with a strong emphasis on international market viability.
Our Approach
Led by producer and founder Gary Collinson, Flickering Myth Films adopts an audience-informed development approach, using insights from a global readership of engaged film, television, and entertainment enthusiasts to identify and develop genre projects with clear international commercial potential.
Projects are packaged and produced with a focus on viability across theatrical, streaming, and digital distribution platforms, supported by access to Flickering Myth’s long-established editorial platform and audience reach, enabling integrated editorial coverage, promotional amplification, and genre-targeted media visibility.
Completed Films
Produced in partnership with Shepka Productions, Flickering Myth Films’ debut feature, the gothic horror The Baby in the Basket, secured distribution across 15+ international territories, including streaming and physical media releases in the US and UK, a theatrical release in the Philippines, and multi-region deals across Latin America and the Middle East. The film also received press coverage across genre and mainstream outlets, including Empire, SFX Magazine, and The Guardian.
Our second feature, the suspense thriller Death Among the Pines, continues this strategy of lean, commercially focused genre filmmaking. The film has secured an early US streaming release and received positive initial critical response, with UK distribution confirmed for Q3 2026 alongside a coordinated publicity campaign.
Current Slate
As of April 2026, Flickering Myth Films is currently in pre-production on a new horror feature set shoot between May and July, and is actively developing a growing slate of genre projects, with a continued focus on scalable, internationally marketable IP.
