Actress Catherine Corcoran, known for her roles in “It Bleeds” and “Terrifier”, has announced the launch of FareStream Pictures, a new film and television production company dedicated to promoting bold and emotionally impactful stories by women and underrepresented groups.

The announcement follows Corcoran’s recent legal action against the core “Terrifier” team, where she alleges breach of contract and severe sexual harassment. Corcoran emphasized the importance of combining creativity with ethical practices, stating, “Creativity and ethical practice can, and must, coexist for art to thrive. Over a decade of experience has shown me that when artists feel safe, valued, and heard, their work flourishes. FareStream will foster an environment where that kind of courage is prioritized, both on and off screen. We champion safety, transparency, fair compensation, and collaboration, because the future of storytelling belongs to companies that understand great art requires great accountability.”

While Corcoran’s team has been contacted for further comment, no response has been received yet. The company has committed to maintaining safe filming environments and employing intimacy coordinators when necessary. Corcoran also promises transparent financial practices, including clear profit sharing and backend reporting for collaborators.

The legal dispute with “Terrifier” involves Corcoran claiming entitlement to 1% of the franchise’s proceeds, which include box office sales from all three films and revenue from licensing and intellectual property use. She states she has received less than $8,400 so far.

Currently, FareStream Pictures is in pre-production on “By His Hand”, a body horror story based on a 2023 work by William R. Perry, with producer Lee Waddell attached. The project will be directed by Scout Taylor-Compton, an actress known for her roles in genre films such as Rob Zombie’s “Halloween”. Taylor-Compton recently announced her directorial debut, “Bring the Law”, a crime-action film set in Los Angeles starring Mickey Rourke, which is yet to have a release date.

Looking ahead, Corcoran plans to draw inspiration from ancient Greece by adapting the myth of the goddess Hera into a live-action series, which will be her first major storytelling project at FareStream. Other upcoming projects include a film adaptation of Julia Bartz’s “The Writing Retreat”, a meta-horror novel developed with screenwriter Evan Spiliotopoulos and Veritas Entertainment, as well as an undisclosed feature film from writer/director Jackson Stewart, which Corcoran will co-produce.

On screen, Corcoran recently starred as an ambitious journalist in “If It Bleeds”, an adaptation of Stephen King’s novella. She is currently in post-production for “Best Friends Forever”, which she will also executive-produce, and will star in “Big Baby”, a project by Spider One, with executive producers Cher and Chaz Bono. Additionally, she has partnered with genre fiction creators Adam Schlagman and Kris Longo of Panick Entertainment to write two anthology comics, including a reimagining of “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”.
