Exclusive: Yellow Veil Pictures acquires world rights to Body Horror threshing Distributed in North America, international sales begin this month at EFM in Berlin.
Sean Mannion’s feature directorial debut premiered at SXSW Sydney and was shot entirely on a working, regenerative farm. The story depicts a young couple searching for meaning and belonging who are absorbed into a close-knit farming community where the ideals of sustainability and dedication begin to take a disturbing toll on the body.
As communal rituals intensify, bodies, boundaries, and beliefs disintegrate, and the promise of farm harmony gives way to something invasive, obsessive, and deeply disturbing.
Simone Grossman (Collective: unconscious), Jess Darrow (Ekanto), Jean-Louis Drouler (oath), Jared Kemp (The Purge: Election Year), Zachary Zamsky (Ang Lee’s will) star.
Manion, Grossman, Darrow and Claire DeCrane served as producers for Brassica Productions and Post Mambo, with Michael Weiss serving as executive producer.
“In 2020, my wife and I picked her up and moved her across the country so she could work on a regenerative farm,” Mannion said. “It was a completely positive period, but I was kind of attached to the different ideologies that I was witnessing.”
“Belief carries weight, and I began to imagine how a desire to live ethically and in harmony with the land could turn arbitrary in the wrong hands,” he continued.
“threshing Joe Yannick of Yellow Veil Pictures said, “Sean captures the environment so strongly that you can feel and taste the mixture of dirt, sweat and blood.” A remarkable debut work that captures the intensity and poignancy of awakening and fear And the sheer immediacy of things like raw”
Yellow Veil is scheduled for release in North America in late 2026. Previous releases include works by Gaspar Noe Lux waterAdil El Arbi and Bilal Farah’s Cannes Midnight Selection rebel.
