UK’s ‘Rain Catcher’ Makes Waves at Karlovy Vary Film Festival
Get ready for a thrilling cinematic experience as the UK’s ‘Rain Catcher’ is set to make a splash at this year’s Karlovy Vary Film Festival. Directed by a talented team, this gripping drama has already caught the attention of industry insiders and film enthusiasts alike.
The film, which extends Fiascaris’ Silver Méliès-winning short of the same name, premiered at the Sitges Film Festival and has since won the NAFF Award at the Sitges FanPitch in 2022. HBO Europe later distributed the short, further solidifying its reputation as a compelling and thought-provoking work.
Starring Dudley O’Shaughnessy (Top Boy) and Iris Law, ‘Rain Catcher’ is a haunting tale that delves into the world of a photographer, Miles, who obsessively captures unforgiving, morbid portraits of unaware strangers. When he’s not selling them, he shares them anonymously online under the moniker of ‘Rain Catcher.’
However, as Miles becomes increasingly consumed by his work, he begins to notice something unsettling in his photos – a mysterious woman watching him and photographing him, turning the lens back on Miles. As her gaze closes in, his world fractures, and his work is sabotaged, his name defamed, and his loved ones endangered.
Consumed by paranoia, Miles spirals into a dark, delirious obsession to uncover the truth behind her motives. The film also stars Jessie Mei Li (Shadow and Bone, Havoc), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones), Youssef Kerkour (Napoleon), and Lorenzo Richelmy (Marco Polo).
Produced by Polesel for Yellow Pill Films alongside Julien Loeffler and James Kermack for Featuristic Films, ‘Rain Catcher’ is a gripping drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Henrik Källsson from Yellow Pill serves as executive producer, alongside Keith Kehoe, David Gendron, and Ali Jazayeri for TPC. Associate producer Alba Moyano co-created the story.
