Distribution Deal Announced

Yellow Veil Pictures has confirmed it will handle the North American distribution of the upcoming horror film Somnium. The film is scheduled to debut theatrically later this year. Additionally, Yellow Veil Pictures will oversee international sales during the Marche du Film at the Cannes Film Festival, which starts Tuesday.

Director’s Perspective

Writer-director Racheal Cain expressed enthusiasm regarding the partnership, stating, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Yellow Veil, whose distinct curatorial eye and art-forward approach to distribution aligns perfectly with the spirit of ‘Somnium.’ Their focus on cinema that pushes boundaries and lingers in the imagination makes them a dream home for this project.”

Critical Reception and Themes

A representative from Yellow Veil Pictures remarked, “With each viewing of ‘Somnium’ we discover a new theme, that’s only topped by the performances of her cast — and the visual risk she takes to build this world.” This reflects the film’s innovative storytelling and visual style, highlighting its potential impact on audiences.

Film Background and Cast

Somnium made its debut at the Chattanooga Film Festival and the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival last fall, marking Cain’s first feature-length directorial project. The film features a notable cast, including Chloë Levine, Peter Vack, Will Peltz, Grace Van Dien, and Draya Michele.

Filmed in Los Angeles, the story revolves around a newcomer to California who juggles auditions and a night job at a sleep clinic where dreams manifest in unexpected ways, blending horror with a deep dive into societal pressures.
