5'7 Films' Ghost-Hunting Comedy Hits VOD, Unveils New YouTube Hub
The comedy "Don't F---k With Ghosts" from 5'7 Films is now available for rental or purchase on Amazon, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The release coincides with the launch of Potluck Originals, a new YouTube channel created in partnership with The Moment Lab. The film follows two brothers-in-law who assemble a team of oddball paranormal investigators to prove ghosts exist.
The film's release strategy pairs traditional VOD distribution with a dedicated YouTube presence, reflecting a growing trend among independent production houses to build direct audience channels alongside streaming marketplace placements. Potluck Originals, developed with The Moment Lab, will serve as a hub for 5'7 Films' original content.
The project marks a continuation of the creative partnership between Stone and Rodness, whose real-life family connection anchors the film's comedic premise. Their fictionalized investigation team draws from eclectic casting choices, blending personalities from entertainment and athletics to create the ensemble dynamic central to the story.
This dual-platform release could signal how smaller studios are adapting to fragmented viewing habits, using free YouTube content to drive paid VOD transactions. For audiences, it may offer a low-commitment entry point into independent comedy, potentially expanding the genre's reach beyond traditional theatrical or streaming subscribers. The film's success could influence how other indie producers structure future distribution deals.
