Catherine Corcoran is taking the reins for the next generation of storytelling in Hollywood. Deadline just revealed that the actress, known for her work in Terrifier, is launching FareStreamPictures, a new production company that will spotlight “bold, emotionally charged storytelling” from women and underrepresented voices, and put a focus on safety and transparency in filmmaking.
FareStream will operate safe sets, with intimacy coordinators made available when necessary, as well as transparent accounting in order to ensure everyone gets their fair share. This is an ultimately unsurprising move for Corcoran, who recently launched a lawsuit against Terrifier’s producers and its director Damien Leone, not only for unpaid royalties, but also for filming her sexually explicit scenes in the original film without written consent, as per Screen Actors Guild rules.
We reached out to Corcoran, who told FANGORIA this about her goals for FareStream:
“The most powerful stories come from the places we aren’t always encouraged to speak from. FareStream is my way of reclaiming that space. We’re building a creative home where transparency, dignity, and real collaboration aren’t exceptions, but the baseline.”
FareStream currently has a few projects in the works, including By His Hand, an adaptation of William R. Perry’s novel currently in pre-production, to be directed by Halloween’s Scout Taylor-Compton. They’re also adapting Julia Bartz’s novel The Writing Retreat, as well as an untitled film from writer-director Jackson Stewart, and the series Hera, a reimagining of Greek myth with Corcoran serving as creator and lead writer.
But that’s not all that’s in store for Catherine Corcoran. She’s making a move into comics and reimagining a cult classic with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, as well as writing on The T.A.M.A. Compannual, both with Adam Schlagman and Kris Longo. She’s also set to star in and executive produce Best Friends Forever, as well as feature in Big Baby, directed by Spider One and produced by Cher and Chaz Bono.
