- Yellow Veil Pictures will distribute the film in North America.
Horror anthology 'Grind' will make its world premiere at SXSW, featuring Brea Grant, Ed Dougherty, and Chelsea Stardust as directors and producers. Yellow Veil Pictures has acquired the North American sales rights for the film, which examines the oppressive nature of the modern work environment and the pervasive anxieties of late-stage capitalism.
The film presents four interconnected stories that reflect contemporary struggles. These narratives include the intense hustle culture within a multi-level marketing scheme, the repetitive grind of a food delivery driver, the digital nightmares faced by an online content moderator, and the efforts toward unionization at a familiar coffee shop.
Written by Grant and Dougherty, who previously collaborated on the short film 'MLM,' 'Grind' features an ensemble cast. The cast includes Rob Huebel, Barbara Crampton, Vinny Thomas, Jessika Van, and James Urbaniak, among others. The film promises to offer both scares and laughs, resonating with current societal feelings.
