Callo

Callo is a platform designed to expand your reach across film, television, and beyond.

Kane Parsons was 16 when he posted his first Backrooms video to YouTube. Curry Barker was doing sketch comedy with his friend on a channel nobody knew until he posted a short that reached 1.6M views.

This weekend they both hit the top of the US box office at the same time. The studios are scrambling to understand it, but we’ve been studying this for awhile now.

This is what Callo was built for: a new generation of creators who don’t wait for the system to let them in. They build the audience first. The system follows them.

Ok let’s be honest, festival season is expensive…

But, submitting to the wrong ones is even more expensive. We linked up with .official a new platform that matches your film to the right festivals from 5,500+ curated competitions to break down exactly how to build a strategy that actually works.

oooh, don’t we love a debut..

Looks like the debut feature is having a moment at Cannes.

Titanic Ocean. Victorian Psycho. Club Kid. Three first films, three completely singular visions. Two more are here too: Bee and Camino, both debut features, developed and packaged with Callo.

JUST IN ⚡️

CAMINO is heading to Cannes! A hot new feature from Callo member Annabella Fazio starring Lío Mehiel (Mutt, After The Hunt) and Emily Carey (House of the Dragon), produced by members Sofia Kunz and Emily Sky Hickin — two emerging production companies with Venice Festival and BFI Flare already on their belt.

This is what running a slate looks like 📌

You have a great feature script. A vision. But no clear path to make your film.

That’s usually where most stall — not because the idea isn’t good enough, but because there are challenges still left to solve before receiving financing and going into production.

We’ve partnered with , a new film accelerator, to break down what an accelerator does, how you know it’s right for your project, and the direct support it gives (like theirs!)

It’s not a lab or fellowship, but an entirely new concept for film and tv to actually supercharge your project and solve the real problems standing between your script and film on screen.

What actually makes a creative space work?

We’ve been deep in research mode for this week’s moodboard! Exploring studios, homes, and coffee shops where the best ideas seem to flow.

As we expand our own satellite workspaces for Callo team and members to collaborate with, we keep coming back to one question: how do you build energy into a space?

So, tell us: what does your ideal creative space need to feel alive?

It’s true, we pour everything into making a short film, then guess our way through building buzz around it.

We don’t need more “mystique” around PR, that’s why we’re working with .film to share a simple, repeatable plan: the right stills, a sharp logline, an EPK people actually open, and a shortlist of press with the RIGHT ANGLE you can actually pitch. 💚

Juggling deadlines, reviewing decks, and launching features… and yet the project hotlist is overflowing !
