Osgood Perkins is on a hot streak after releasing Longlegs and The Monkey for Neon, both of which filmed in Vancouver, and he’s shooting his fourth movie locally with The Young People, after a rare stumble at the box office with Keeper this fall.
“We found success. I found my people and collaborators and we’ve had the success it’s so hard to achieve in anything and in our theatrical movie business,” Perkins told The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday ahead of doing a master class in horror movie making at the Whistler Film Festival.
Perkins has teamed with Vancouver producer Chris Ferguson (Backrooms) of indie banner Oddfellows, and they’re backed by a first-look deal with Neon. That deal has Neon serving as the home for Perkins’ projects that he and Ferguson will produce.
That leaves Hollywood’s latest horrormeister with no plans to return to the U.
