Vorteks has acquired worldwide rights to Michele Fiascaris' psychological thriller, 'Rain Catcher,' starring Dudley O'Shaughnessy in his first leading feature film role. The film, currently in post-production, is an extension of Fiascaris' Silver Méliès-winning short of the same name.

Filippo Polesel, co-writer and producer, described 'Rain Catcher' as a British film made by an international team, inspired by and an homage to London. The film is slated for a Cannes sales launch, with Vorteks confident in its global appeal and Fiascaris' unique filmmaking voice.
Joining O'Shaughnessy in the cast are Jessie Mei Li, Iris Law, Kate Dickie, Youssef Kerkour, and Lorenzo Richelmy. Vorteks' Cannes slate also includes other genre films in post-production.
