History

Intrepid Pictures was founded in 2004 by founders and co-CEOs Trevor Macy and Marc D. Evans.[1] Macy served as the sole CEO until 2019, at which time Mike Flanagan joined the company as a partner.[2]

Before Intrepid was created, both Evans and Macy worked at Revolution Studios and Propaganda Films respectively. Evans spent 4 years at Revolution Studios as CFO from 2000 to 2004[3] while Macy spent 2 years as the COO of Propaganda Films and independently produced Auto Focus.[4]

A year after forming the company, Rogue signed a deal with Intrepid to co-produce, co-finance and distribute films with partnership with Universal Studios, Rogue's then-parent company, for five years.[5] The company then debuted with Waist Deep in 2006, which critically flopped but gained $21.35 million worldwide.

After stumbles, the group broke through with The Strangers. In May 2012 FilmDistrict acquired the film rights to what would become Oculus.[6] Soon after, the film released on April 11, 2013, to commercial and critical success, earning $44 million over a $5 million budget and received positive reviews. In June 2015, Los Angeles Media Fund co-funded The Bye Bye Man, which originated from a script by Jonathan Penner[7] with STX Entertainment acquiring the film in December.[8]

Intrepid's most notable recent releases are the critically acclaimed films Hush, Before I Wake and Gerald's Game, all with frequent Intrepid collaborator (and now partner), Mike Flanagan.

Currently, Intrepid is in post-production on the Paramount Players horror thriller Eli directed by Ciarán Foy.

In January 2018, Intrepid and Macy announced their involvement in Doctor Sleep, the sequel to the iconic horror film The Shining, for Warner Brothers.[9]

In February 2011, Melinda Nishioka was hired as a Coordinator, and as of September 2016 is the new Vice President of Development.[10]

In February 2019, it was announced that Mike Flanagan had formally joined Intrepid as a partner, and that Intrepid had inked an overall deal with Netflix to generate television series. [2]

As part of that overall deal, Netflix ordered the original series Midnight Mass in July 2019. [11]
