Rob Hollocks: From Film Studio Marketing to Indie Mayhem

Rob Hollocks is proof that storytelling instincts don’t disappear—they evolve. After 15 years leading global campaigns at Paramount for hits like “Indiana Jones,” “Mission: Impossible,” “Star Trek,” and “Saving Private Ryan,” Rob stepped away from the studio system to write, direct, and produce original work. His indie company, Bloody Marvelous Pictures, is now home to bold, genre-bending films that explore the emotional and the eerie with equal intensity.
In this cinematic conversation, Rob shares how a childhood love of classic monster movies shaped his creative eye, how his theatre roots taught him to trust actors and take risks, and why building a “creative family” on set matters more than ever. From “Encounter” with Luke Hemsworth to the haunting new thriller “The Observance,” Rob brings both a marketer’s strategy and a filmmaker’s soul to every project he touches.
This episode is a ride through reinvention, legacy, and the power of horror to say something deeper. If you’ve ever dreamed of making a second act as meaningful as your first, don’t miss this one.
