During the 2022 SXSW Film Festival, co-writers/co-directors Joseph and Vanessa Winter celebrated the world premiere of their low-budget, high-ambition throwback horror movie, Deadstream, as part of the fest’s Midnighters slate. Centered around a disgraced streamer (played by Joseph Winter) who sets out to win back his fans by livestreaming from a haunted house, the online personality gets more than he bargained for after he accidentally angers an evil spirit who is hellbent on making sure he pays for his misdeeds before the sun comes up.
While in Austin, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with the married creatives, who discussed the inspirations behind their approach to Deadstream, the challenges they faced in making sure the film felt like an authentic streaming experience, the film’s unique locale which became like another character in the project, and the duo also gush (and rightfully so) over the brilliant special effects...

When “The Blair Witch Project” got the found-footage horror subgenre properly started in 1999, it was already asking for trouble that the protagonists were film students pointing their cameras where they shouldn’t. These days, prospective victims in such movies are likely to make us feel they deserve their fate by being professional self-promoters with such widely despised job titles as “influencer,” “YouTube personality” or “reality TV star.” Sharp objects may also be involved, but in horror cinema, few things prove more reliably fatal than narcissism.
So we know the goose of bearded thirtysomething Shawn Ruddy (Joseph Winter) is cooked right away in “Deadstream,” because he’s introduced in a bombastic montage of clips from the streaming series of which he’s the star and entire crew. He self-identifies as “the world’s biggest wuss — facing my fears one dumb-ass challenge at a time.” The latest such fear: a solo overnight...
