First-Time Filmmaker Tattoos Forehead With Movie Title to Promote New Horror Short

Las Vegas, NV, June 13, 2025 — First time filmmaker, Jason Snow just raised the stakes for other directors—by tattooing the title of his new horror short Prodrome onto his own face.

Snow, a rising creator with over 100,000 followers and 30 million monthly views across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Youtube, unveiled the forehead tattoo as part of a stunt to promote the release of his unsettling short film Prodrome. The film follows Tom, a man caught in a violent home invasion that spirals into a twisted, shifting nightmare—where nothing is what it seems and survival means unlearning reality itself.

“Prodrome is an insane horror movie,” Snow said. “It’s about not knowing what’s real, even in your own home. I wanted to do something that blurred that line in real life too—something permanent, disruptive, and a little bit crazy. This movie literally got under my skin.”

The stunt isn’t just shock value. It reflects the film’s core theme: don’t trust your eyes. The tattoo, which simply reads PRODROME in stark lettering, echoes the visual motifs and the tattoos of the main character. .

Snow isn’t new to high-impact visuals. Before making films, he cut his teeth online as a creator and livestreamer, where he mastered how to hook an audience fast and keep them watching. He’s since gone on to work in commercial projects for brands like Uber, Delta, Discovery Channel, and Caesars Entertainment—but Prodrome marks his return to raw, independent storytelling.

Visually sharp, gritty, and full of tension, Prodrome leans into the aesthetics of films like Enter the Void and Hereditary, but with a guerrilla energy and modern voice. The face tattoo may seem extreme, but for Snow, it’s just part of the message: this is a filmmaker willing to mark himself for his work.

They are currently bringing on producers to join the team and to get first shot at bringing a feature film of the same name to life in the future The cast and crew includes actors Tom Kunzman, Deonte Finch and Jason Snow, associate procure is Anthony Meyer, art direction by Tiffany Gonzalez, score and sound design by Scott Soder, director of photography by Sire Prince, production sound by Layla Ryan, and aerial cinematography by Jaden Stal Morelli. 

Prodrome is now making the rounds on the festival circuit and the trailer is available to the public at theprodrome.com
