About Rogue Chimera Films's Shop
USA
Independent film production company that also hosts the Magic of Horror genre festival.
Rogue Chimera Films is an independent film production company founded in 2017 by Lowrie Fawley and Shiva Rodriguez.
Why did we name our company “Rogue Chimera”? We thought long and hard about exactly what kind of films we produce. Sure, it’s easy to just say that we make horror movies, but is that all our films really are?
We say nay! We like breaking rules and we don’t tell stories that can be tucked away nicely into one standard genre. Our films have a mix of elements. A little drama, a little comedy, a little tragedy, a little crime thriller, all built up on a horror story foundation. A chimera, if you will.
As far as the “rogue” goes… well, we've been known to stray from the traditional tropes and the usual rules of horror films. Our fans find it refreshing that our heroes (if they can indeed be called "heroes") aren't saints. And of course, we put a lot of tender loving care into our villainous characters. No silent mask-wearing maniacs here, we think bad guys are more disturbing if they are multi-faceted, charismatic, and often even likable!
But we are nothing if not fans of the genre, which is why we host the annual Magic of Horror festival in Richmond, VA. Since we know exactly how hard it is to promote films, let alone make them, we strive to help out independent filmmakers as much as we can!
