All FOUR Early Jinx Movies Now on Amazon!
When Amazon Video Direct launched last year, I was hopeful that it might finally provide a workable and user-friendly platform for people who make movies to get those movies into the homes of people who watch movies. Check this out: I was actively moaning that the industry as it previously existed was broken back in…

Which Sequel?
Ok, so when last we chatted I was floating my idea for Hellbride II. It’s clearly not the only potential property that we’ve got sitting in the Jinx Media vault, however. We could revisit the KillerKiller universe, for example. I’ve got a treatment for that knocking around somewhere, too. We could, if the other guys were…

Jinx Media vs 2016
Well, the year’s nearly done. It’s been stupidly eventful, stupidly exciting and, at some points, just flat out stupid. I started the year by hosting a new live show before premiering my new movie (Jinx Media’s first full feature since 2007) and then destroying the master copy (and back-up) live on stage. Which was a busy way…

This is an interesting new wrinkle in amongst the VOD options available to filmmakers and indies. We’re planning on trying it out this…

I’ve heard a bunch of great responses, from specific store names to outright abuse, but I guess the reason that the question keeps getting asked is because the answer is never fully satisfying. Anywhere. Everywhere. I…

TrashHouse: The Uncensored Truth
I was born in 1974. Movies were always my love and passion, ever since seeing Star Wars on the big screen on opening night at the Southend Odeon. It was December 1977, and I was three years old. In that same year, my amazing mum also took me to see the rerelease of 20,000 Leagues…

TrashHouse – We Have the Rights Back
Weird thing about Jinx Media still being in business after ten years; we’ve got the rights for our first movie back. We signed a seven year distribution deal for Trashhouse back in February 2006. We signed the UK and the US, but the US elements of the deal went wonky when one of the companies…
