Christine Vachon champions provocative indie cinema as she backs a new generation
Renowned independent producer Christine Vachon discusses her 35-year run with Killer Films, shaping controversial yet landmark indie cinema (Kids, Poison, Far from Heaven) and championing underrepresented voices. She explains how controversy can spark attention and audience engagement, and notes the industry’s evolution for women producers. Her latest project Pretty Babies, premiering at Edinburgh, follows two teenage actors lured to LA who slide into sex work, signaling Killer Films’ ongoing commitment to personal, provocative storytelling and backing first-time filmmakers while navigating credits and financing amid industry turbulence (including Joaquin Phoenix’s exit from De Noche).
