Fantastic Factory

[edit]

American producer Brian Yuzna and Spanish producer Julio Fernández in founded Fantastic Factory 1998 and was Spain's first major production house to specialize in horror films with a notable lean towards the international market.[36] [3] Yuzna stated his goal with the studio was to establish a business model similar to other independent horror producers like American International Pictures and Hammer Film Productions.[36] Yuzna's approach to the company saw him utilize seasoned imported American talent such as himself, Stuart Gordon, and Jack Sholder helming certain projects while also fostering locally procured Spanish directors for other projects made by the company.[36] From 2000-2005, the company produced nine films all of which were shot in English.[36] Fantastic Factory is seen as laying the groundwork for more successful Spanish genre film making and filmmakers such as the [•REC] film series directed by Fantastic Factory alums Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza.[36]
