Episode 12 - One-Location Movies: Success Stories and the Formula for Filmmaking

Welcome to the final episode [https://medium.com/@BubblePicturesStudio/paranormal-activity-success-story-the-profit-behind-limited-location-horror-films-and-the-a6f437cce68a]of Chapter One.  When I started exploring one-location movies, my first step was to research, watch, and categorise them into distinct groups to understand their nuances better. So far, I’ve introduced and organised these films by decade—from the 1950s and earlier to the 1960s onward. This journey led to a list of over 400 one-location movies [https://letterboxd.com/kay49/list/one-location-movies/]. Through my research on one-location movies, I’ve gained a deeper understanding and am now prepared to undertake more extensive research. My aim is to create a guidebook that uncovers the secrets of these films, and more.   This is Kiana Firouz, and thank you for joining me on this journey. for more details and updates, please visit www.bubblepictures.studio [http://www.bubblepictures.studio].

Episode 11 - Cube Phenomenon: A Singular Setting Movie Franchise

Let's rewind to 1997, when the first "Cube [https://medium.com/@BubblePicturesStudio/cube-phenomenon-a-singular-setting-movie-franchise-b8da4b21e55a]" movie emerged from Canada, backed by financial support from the Canadian film industry. With a shoestring budget of about 350,000 Canadian dollars, it initially earned around $500,000 in the United States before Samuel Hadida and his company, Metropolitan Filmexport in France, entered the scene to change its fate. Recognizing its potential, Hadida decided to invest $1.2 million in its marketing campaign—more than three times the movie's original budget. His team orchestrated an extensive promotional strategy in France, distributing flyers across cities and organising promotional events. The result? "Cube" became the second highest-grossing film in France that summer.
