“Below the Line”

While the podcast will always be free for all to enjoy, joining our entry level subscription membership (currently at only $5 a month) gets you a ton of perks… including…

  • You’ll have exclusive access to the show’s private Discord server, “The Edit Bay”. Chat. Connect with other filmmakers. And join in the conversation directly with Darren, Josh & Addison.

  • All our episodes will drop on Tuesday mornings. But you’ll get your episodes a little early in your feed.

  • Every month, we’ll be hosting a 90 minute town hall with Darren, Josh & Addison. It will be an open Zoom session for Q&As and occasional special guests.

  • New Members will get a special shout-outs on socials and on the website. Or stay anonymous, if you’d prefer.

  • When we’re in production, we’ll be creating virtual set visits where we will live-stream part of the filming process.

“Above the Line”

Want more access and special extras? The top membership tier is available at $12 per month.

  • With the higher subscription level, you’ll receive all the perks awarded to the “Below the Line” tier. But keep reading!

  • At the end of each year, we’ll be sending “Above the Line” listeners something signed from the show. It could be a page of story-boards or a script page or a photograph… signed by Josh & Darren & Addison PLUS a few of our guests from the year.

  • Once a month, we’ll be dropping into your feed a special episode for filmmakers. While it won’t be about the current movie we’re making, it might be an extra filmmaker interview or a show about framing or set decoration. Or just about anything on our minds.

  • We’ll be hosting zoom watch parties to screen some of our favorite genre films. Or maybe one of our own films for a live commentary. We may also do a live trivia night instead.

  • Darren & Josh (and Addison, when she becomes legal), will hold meetups at a few local dive bars for some face to face time with anyone in Los Angeles.

  • So there will be some aspects to the process that we will be unable to make available publicly. But we WILL provide access to our “Above the Line” family members. Notes calls with executives. The first Table Read. Casting sessions.

  • Josh & Darren, when not shooting, will have “Office Hours” every other week. One hour a week, that they will alternate. We’ll mix up the start times for people on the other side of the globe. Swing by the office for any A’s of Q’s.

  • For all “Above the Line” members who are active for a year or more, we’ll scroll your name in the closing credits of the final film under “Special Thanks”. Get your name on IMDb!!!

  • With your blessing, we will HIDE your name SOMEWHERE in our film. It could be graffiti in a background scene (like Darren did in Spiral: From the Book of Saw) to you name appearing in the background or on a written page that’s in frame.

  • Live in Los Angeles? Or will you be visiting? A couple of times a year, Josh will set up his lights and cameras and offer a four hour window for crew members to come to his studio for a bloody photo shoot. Haven’t seen those yet? Check them out on Josh’s Instagram.

  • During production, we will have a still photographer on set. Every family member in the “Above the Line” tier who has been with us for a year will receive a digital photo, unique and not given or shown to anyone else. Share it with the world or keep it from ever being seen.
