Decal, the newly formed home entertainment distributor from Neon and Bleecker Street, has obtained the North American rights to the South African horror-thriller Gaia, directed by Jaco Bouwer.
Set to be released this summer, the film stars Monique Rockman, Carel Nel, Anthony Oseyemi, and Alex Van Dyk and made its debut at SXSW.
The film centers on a park ranger on a surveillance mission in a primordial forest who encounters two survivalists living a post-apocalyptic lifestyle. The boy and his philosophical father seem to have their own religion and a mysterious relationship to nature.
Tertius Kapp penned the screenplay and is producing the film along with Bouwer and Jorrie van der Walt, Deadline reports.
