The first feature-length movie released on Snapchat was just the tip of the iceberg for Indigenous Media, which is following up “Sickhouse” — which it produced on the social media platform — by turning to documentaries. The aptly named “60 Second Docs” is a new web series profiling eccentric real-life characters in just one minute. Its tagline: “Life. One minute at a time.”

The first installment, which premiered on June 1, is available on Facebook, YouTube and VidMe. The latest episode was released today. Already, the series has gained significant momentum, with over two million views to date.

The company has developed the idea out of its recent experiences with short-form content. “Since they’re so easy to consume, we found that people go down the rabbit hole,” said Indigenous COO Jake Avnet by phone.

Made-for-mobile feature film Sickhouse, a horror flick that debuted on social media star Andrea Russett’s Snapchat account, was so successful that it’s getting a sequel. “The sequel to Sickhouse will reinvent the franchise and will begin when audiences least expect it so as to once again blur the lines between reality and fiction,” the film’s producer, Indigenous Media, said in a release.

Indigenous did not disclose the plot of the film or any casting details, so as to create a similar effect as to when Russett’s Snapchat account, without any warning, turned into a fictional horror film between April 29 and May 3.

“Andrea’s fans, horror lovers, and social media mavens alike have all embraced Sickhouse,” said Indigenous Media COO Jake Avnet in a statement. “Viewership has demonstrated an appetite for content on the platforms where audiences spend their time. The model for the production, distribution and marketing of films is changing.

Producer of Hannah Macpherson’s film posted on the temporary social media says it took a while for followers to work out they were watching a movie

When it comes to the perfect format for cinema, Hollywood has always touted the big screen over home viewing. But what happens when a film is specifically designed to be watched on the tiniest, least “cinematic” of screens: that of the plain old mobile phone? Found-footage horror Sickhouse goes one step further. It is not only best viewed on a pocket device, it was shot and distributed to audiences using entirely mobile-based technology.

Filmed on a series of iPhones, Hannah Macpherson’s film was originally uploaded in 10-second virtual vignettes over five days, between 29 April and 3 May, to the Snapchat account of YouTube celebrity Andrea Russett, who plays a version of herself in the Blair Witch-style chiller. Russett’s 500,000-plus followers on the...

While we consider Snapchat to be synonymous with Lol-worthy filters and sneak peeks of new Kylie Lip Kit shades (natch), social media star Andrea Russett is reimagining the media-sharing platform as we know it with the release of Sickhouse, a live horror film shared on her Snapchat over the course of five days. Sickhouse - which stars a handful of digital influencers - follows a group of friends as they embark on a journey to visit a seemingly abandoned house in the woods, dubbed Sickhouse, after an urban legend about the location intrigues the group.

Snapchat is the wildly-popular social media platform you're probably not using if you're an old-fogey like me, but with more than 100 million active daily users, it's clearly what the kids are into these days. Now, a famous person whom you probably haven't heard of if you're under 25 -- YouTube star Andrea Russett -- has cleverly used the social media platform to debut an entire feature-length horror film in 10 second snippets (the maximum video length allowed on the service). It truly is a different world.  Directed by Hannah Macpherson and shot entirely on iPhones, Sickhouse -- as profiled in a lengthy story/review over at Vulture -- is essentially Blair Witch for the young millenial set, albeit perhaps not up to par, quality-wise, with that 1999 found-footage blockbuster. Here's the summary: In the horror movie Sickhouse, a familiar narrative unfolds: A bunch of teens decide they want to look into some urban legend,...

Sickhouse, a horror thriller produced by Indigenous Media, is billing itself as the first-ever scripted film, shot in real time, that’s designed for mobile viewing. Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Hannah Macpherson, Sickhouse was shot over the course of five days, April 29-May 3, in Los Angeles and experienced live on Snapchat and other social platforms. The story was designed to be told through a series of snaps, but also as a linear film. The snaps are now being edited into a Director’s Cut with additional footage. The final feature-length film will be available exclusively on Vimeo beginning Wednesday, June 1. The film tells […]...
