HiT 301: Here's the Cure for Hollywood's Reboot Addiction

Hollywood in Toto with Christian Toto

About
Host Christian Toto welcomes indie filmmakers Max Tzannes and David San Miguel, the creative minds behind the new horror-comedy Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project. The duo dives deep into the chaotic and creative world of low-budget filmmaking, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, unexpected challenges, and how cutting corners on set often led to surprisingly better results. You'll hear about the genre-blending magic that combines laughs and frights, plus the surprising wisdom from a veteran co-star that helped elevate the final product.

With DNA rooted in the found-footage classic The Blair Witch Project, The Patterson Project delivers a fresh spin on the genre—equal parts spooky and side-splitting. Oh, and there's a Bigfoot lurking in the woods. If you love indie horror, mockumentary-style filmmaking, film industry insights, or just want to learn how a scrappy team brought a big idea to life, this episode is a can't-miss.
