Probably just another one of those mysteriously uber wealthy leftist liberals. I wonder how he got his money? I wonder if it has anything to do with our $21 trillion national “debt”?

Jason Blum is a major Hollywood producer who specializes in the low budget horror genre.

If memory serves me, he worked for decades as a buyer / producer for some major studios like Universal and left to form Blumhouse riding on the success of Paranormal Activity.

He had been one of many producers who turned down Blair Witch Project only to regret that its clever marketing angle turned it into a highly-profitable film which happened to cost next-to-nothing to make. (Blair invented the “found footage” gimmick.)

When Blum saw Paranormal he knew he didn’t want to repeat the mistake he made on Blair. The investment paid off. He’s figured out a highly-successful formula to making huge profits from low budget (by Hollywood standards) films.

Unfortunately, like most of Hollywood, Blum appears to be very politically left and anti-Trump.
