Overview
- TheWrap, Bloody Disgusting and Dexerto reported Tuesday that Tongal has partnered with creator-filmmaker Savanah Moss to develop a feature film based on the online horror figure Jeff the Killer.
- Moss is attached as a producer and will help set the film’s creative direction, and producers Mark Korshak and Michael McKay are also credited on the project.
- Tongal has launched an open development project on its platform inviting creators worldwide to submit character concepts and interpretations that could influence the film’s design and tone.
- The project is in early development with no director, cast, release date, distributor or financing announced yet, and further creative roles and production details are expected in coming months.
- The move reflects a wider Hollywood trend of turning internet-born horror into theatrical films and signals Tongal’s push to use a crowdsourced, creator-led model to tap built-in online audiences for genre projects.
