A24 Is The Place For Horror Now
Masha Ko is an award-winning director and human installation artist. Ko's primary goal is to highlight the stories of individuals who are often overlooked by society and whose lives are rarely celebrated through artistic forms. Through her films, she aspires to disclose the magnificence hidden within individuals, regardless of the challenges or biases that may have concealed it. Her work often deals with deconstruction of Western perspectives related to sexuality, PTSD, and mortality. Beyond filmmaking, Ko is a highly accomplished human installation artist. Much of her work is part of the interdisciplinary performance art duo KoHoMa in partnership with Kolten Horner. Together, the duo explores how various social dynamics affect one's relationship to the self. KoHoMa was named one of ArtConnect's Artists to Watch in 2023. Ko's provocative and sometimes challenging body installation works have been featured in galleries in LA, NYC, Vienna, and Germany. Ko is represented by WME.
Is there a better studio for horror than A24 right now? I think not. I read really good things about The Looming after the festival this year, so this is a very exciting announcement. With creative team in place, this should be one of the most anticipated horror films on most people's lists.
