Several questions during a brief conversation at the start of the event focused on Vachon’s priorities and the work of her Killer Films production company. “We are known for working with first-time directors, and that is something that I really love to do,” Vachon shared. “It’s really easy to get very cynical in this business, and this cynicism is incredibly destructive.
When asked about the Killer Films brand, Vachon mentioned that the company makes movies that “we feel are truly original, provocative and really have something to say,” also noting that the different tastes that she and co-founder Pamela Koffler bring to the table ensure “varied projects.” Her conclusion: “I feel what we do is very eclectic.”
Expanding on the difference in taste between the two partners, she explained, “Our tastes are different enough. I don’t think it’s so great to work with somebody who has identical taste, because, you know, why bother?” Asked about the state of the indie film space and whether it faces extinction, Vachon responded, “A lot of people have been dancing on the grave of independent film for a really long time,” arguing, “It certainly hasn’t gotten harder to create content necessarily.”
Vachon acknowledged, though, that independent film was facing key questions that the whole industry is discussing: “What is the future of theatrical? What does that mean for the kinds of stories you want to tell?” Her conclusion: “What we are really looking at now is what’s going to happen to adult-driven drama? And have people simply decided that they’d rather watch that at home? And what gives something that sense of urgency to send you to the theater to see it?”The Hollywood ReporterA...
