CAA Boards Film Bazaar Colonial Horror Tale ‘Feral’
variety.comNaman Ramachandran CAA has taken North American sales rights to psychological horror-thriller “Feral.” The project, set in 1950s India, already has Oscar-nominated producers Ron Yerxa and Albert Berger (“Little Miss Sunshine,” “Nebraska”) attached as executive producers.
It heads to Film Bazaar as its creative team pursues further co-production partners and final financing. The film follows two part-tribal sisters trained as servants by an English madame on a Himalayan colonial estate.
The story centers on the estate’s shifting power dynamics after the arrival of the madame’s new lover, a singer/shaman scholar, as the sisters begin reclaiming their tribal heritage.
The film will be shot in the English and Kinnauri languages. The project has previously found support from Sundance+WIF, Breaking Through The Lens and Film Independent.
