Yellow Veil Pictures Joins Nightlife Thriller ‘Corpus’ Ahead of Fantasia Premiere
Yellow Veil Pictures has boarded ‘Corpus’ ahead of its Fantasia premiere, a nightlife thriller following men who encounter 3 mysterious women
Ahead of the Fantasia Film Festival, Yellow Veil Pictures has boarded the NYC nightlight thriller, Corpus, reports Variety.
Yellow Veil will handle world sales for the film.
Corpus “follows Sayo, a soulful nightlife photographer and small-time drug dealer in the summer of 1998 in New York City. When he’s invited to a party upstate by his long-time friend, unrequited love, and a movie star on the rise, Vince Marlowe. They — together with their rowdy friend Ross — drive to a remote, bucolic manor in hopes of some summer debauchery. Upon arrival, they discover that the promise of a party is actually three mysterious women — Billie, Wren, and Cata — whose disturbing agenda draws the boys into a dark web of seduction and terror.”
Jeff Wahlberg (“Euphoria”), Brodie Townsend (“Heartbreak High”), Michael Vlamis (The Odyssey), Lily Cowles (Antebellum), Nuha Jes Izman (“Yellowjackets”) and Ching Valdes-Aran (“The Equalizer”) star.
Corpus marks the debut feature of director, Corrin Evans. She co-wrote the film with Lily Cowles.
Producers are Cowles, Evans, Alix Taylor, Sarah Mather of Pinky Promise Films and Thomas Wallis of Two Canz Films.
Said Joe Yanick of Yellow Veil, “There is such an excitement in seeing a debut like Corpus. A film so effortlessly sexy and cool that pushes us outside our comfort zone. We knew immediately that Corrin Evans is the next big thing in genre, and we’re excited for the rest of the world to find out come Fantasia.”
Added Evans, “I deeply respect the work Yellow Veil is doing and am honored to be partnering with them for Corpus. Joe, Hughes and Justin are true movie lovers championing boundary-pushing and genre-bending cinema. They’re taking risks on cool projects that don’t fit squarely in a certain box, which feels very right— because neither does in all its sexy, supernatural strangeness. Working with Yellow Veil, who have made space for unusual and distinctive movies, makes me hopeful about the future of film.”
