“#ChadGetsTheAxe is a fun commentary on influencer culture and the hunger for popularity,” commented Shaked Berenson, Entertainment Squad’s CEO, “It’s a great fit for The Horror Collective audience and a perfect follow-up to Jeff Ryan’s Mean Spirited, another Frightfest favorite we released earlier this year. 

 

Director Travis Bible said, “It’s been so fun watching all the scares and laughs with festival crowds and I can’t wait to share the film with a wider audience. 

 

The film premiered at FilmQuest in October 2022 and Internationally at FrightFest Glasgow in March 2023 where it was well received by critics. 

 

#ChadGetsTheAxe was produced by Travis Bible, Eric Gibson, Kemerton Hargrove, and Frances O'Hanlon, while Dream Big Group serves as executive producers.

 

“This film has been two years in the making and it’s been an incredible experience bringing this vision to life,” says O’Hanlon, a partner in New Orleans based Dream Big Group. For us, it is so important to support filmmakers with a unique voice and fresh perspective. It's not every day someone wants to make a film with an iPhone! Working with the most creative and talented team made the collaboration process a dream. We are thrilled for more audiences to connect with this film."
