At 20 years old, Kane Parsons may become the youngest filmmaker to have a film #1 at the box office in its opening weekend. ‘BACKROOMS’ is tracking for a $40M-$50M opening.

There's a lot of ageism going on about Curry Barker and Kane Parsons right now. I have tickets to The Backrooms for this Saturday and am hoping to see Obsession this week. I'm 47 and I'm not jealous of either of them. Grow up, for fucks sakes.

There is a theory going around that Kane Parsons did not really direct *Backrooms*, and that the movie was secretly directed by Osgood Perkins or James Wan. And I am sorry, but that feels like people trying to take this away from the kid before the movie even opens. Kane Parsons is officially the director of *Backrooms*. James Wan produced it. Osgood Perkins produced it and served as a mentor during production. That is not some conspiracy. That is what happens when a 19-year-old filmmaker gets handed his first feature film and experienced people help him navigate the process. Especially when the entire reason the movie exists is because of Kane Parsons. His Kane Pixels YouTube channel has more than 3 million subscribers with only 51 videos. His original *Backrooms (Found Footage)* short has over 78 million views. He made that video when he was 16 years old, and it was so good that Hollywood came calling almost immediately. He did not randomly get handed somebody else’s movie. He created the version of *The Backrooms* that people fell in love with. And from everything Kane has talked about publicly, he was deeply involved in bringing that vision to the screen. He modeled the environments in Blender, helped design the massive 30,000-square-foot set, and described the movie as completely connected to the story he was already telling on YouTube. Could James Wan and Osgood Perkins have helped him? Of course. They were producers. That is their job. But there is a pretty big difference between mentoring a young filmmaker and secretly directing his movie for him. And the really wild part is that *Backrooms* is currently tracking for a $20–30 million domestic opening weekend. For context, *Civil War* currently holds A24’s biggest domestic opening at $25.7 million. So there is a very real chance that a 20-year-old YouTube creator, adapting the weird little horror universe he started building as a teenager, could open one of the biggest movies in A24 history. Maybe the movie works. Maybe it does not. But let the guy have his movie before inventing a conspiracy that somebody more famous must have made it for him.

People get so fixated on age, I think it's so unhealthy. Young directors are exciting, and so are directors making their debut in their 40s+ (Coralie Fargeat, for one). Artistic inspiration is a funny thing & finds us creative types in such different ways. It's okay ❤️

WHAT IS THIS MOVIE GONNA DO TO US BRUH

Locals don’t think LA is evil, only transplants think LA is evil. Because they come here and they do evil shit, because they’re strivers, and then they’re like “it wasn’t me, it was the Santa Ana Winds”

its like charlie brown in a peanuts comic strip

guy who hates mexicans while literally living in a city called "Los Angeles"

I’m not saying we don’t have problems in LA but idk if people selling tchotchkes on a tourist hub street is one of them? This isn’t a tent city this is people trying to sell bits and bobs along the walk of fame I think that’s just what tourist traps do…

TT Games seeing all the fans ask for their next game to be LOTR, Dune, Spider-Man, or Justice League knowing full well they have LEGO Batman 5: Legacy of the Red Hood in production

It's ironic: Andor had more references to Star Wars deep lore than Filoni's shows, despite Gilroy being unfamiliar with the franchise But maybe that's why he did so much research into the lore, instead of just focusing on the handful of characters he was emotionally attached to

nobody else out there is doing it like tubi
