Yellow Veil Pictures Brings ‘The Bloodhound’ and ‘Sator’ to Cannes
Yellow Veil Pictures announced today they have acquired world sales rights on Jordan Graham’s Sator and English-speaking territories for The Bloodhound from director Patrick Picard, and will introduce the projects to buyers this week at Marche Du Film Online as part of their slate.
Patrick Picard’s feature directorial debut The Bloodhound is a modern-set horror/thriller loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe’s famed gothic story, “The Fall of The House of Usher”.
In it, “Young, dispossessed Francis (Liam Aiken) agrees to take care of a wealthy childhood friend (Joe Adler) who has fallen ill, but soon finds himself trapped in an isolated world and fearful of the man’s phantasmic twin sister (Annalise Basso) who roams the halls. A volatile test of wills ensues between the two men, and a treasonous crime might be the only way out.”
Bloodhound is produced by Love & Death Productions’ Thomas R. Burke and Leal Naim (The Endless, Synchronic) as well as Alex Don and Jason Don (Ladyworld).
Sator, which made its world premiere in Montreal at the Fantasia International Film Festival (read our review), is a uniquely personal film that weaves together truth and fiction to tell the tale of a demon that has haunted generations of filmmaker Jordan Graham’s family. “The chilling feature invites the director’s real-life grandmother, now passed, in front of the lens to recount her history of interactions with the being known only as Sator.”
