About Chris — Chris von Daehne is a Creative Executive at Envision Entertainment, a London-based production company focused on creating premium scripted series and films with global appeal. The company’s genre label DB Films, led by “Harry Potter” producer David Barron, recently received a BFI Global Screen Fund grant to develop elevated British genre films. Envision Entertainment’s mission centers on developing future franchises by embracing new talent, technologies, and territories.
What Chris Is Looking For —Horror and thriller films with clear high concepts and well-developed characters at a sub-$5m budget. Projects should be true to their genre while being subversive and reflecting contemporary societal anxieties. Open to working with established UK filmmakers and international directors moving into English language. Writers should consider the question: “What scares us now?”
