EXCLUSIVE: Yellow Veil Pictures has boarded North American sales on Brea Grant, Ed Dougherty and Chelsea Stardust’s horror satire anthology Grind, ahead of its world premiere in SXSW’s Midnight section.
The film tackles the modern work landscape and anxieties of late stage capitalism through four interconnected perspectives: the hustle culture of an multi-level marketing company, or MLM; the endless repetitiveness of a food delivery driver, the online horrors of a content moderator, and the unionization of a familiar-feeling coffee shop.
“Grind subverts the anthology genre by creating something more cohesive, more interconnected and by doing so wonderfully plays on so many feelings we are all struggling all while providing a great deal of laughs along the way,” says Yellow Veil Co-Found Joe Yanick, “ It’s the perfect kind of film to play before SXSW audiences, and we can’t wait to hear their reactions.”
The ensemble cast includes Rob Huebel, Barbara Crampton, Vinny Thomas, Jessika Van, Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette, James Urbaniak, Courtney Pauroso, James Paxton, Ify Nwadiwe, and Aubrey Shea.
Grant and Dougherty, who previously explored the lows of workplace culture in 2024 short MLM, wrote the screenplay and also produced alongside Chelsea Stardust.
New York City and Los Angeles-based Yellow Veil Pictures’ current slate also features SXSW title Ugly Cry.
