Daisy Jelley (How to Have Sex), Clinton Liberty (Normal People, Red Election), and Niamh McCormack (The Witcher, Willow) will star in vampire horror Feed, which is being launched for the Cannes Market.
Feed is being written and directed by Marco van Belle (Arthur & Merlin).
Ripple World’s Jac Kerrin and Dominic Wright (The Last Rifleman) will produce, with Umedia (The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan) as co-producers. Niamh Fagan is executive producer for Screen Ireland/Fís Éireann, which are providing production and development financing. The film is scheduled to shoot this autumn in Ireland.
McCormack will next be seen starring in Netflix and Left Bank’s The Fuck It Bucket. Jelley is in post on Amazon movie How To Date Billy Walsh and Nick Cassavetes romance Marked Man.
“With people using social media to make their mark and get rich quick,” said director Van Belle. “I’m fascinated to explore the fragility of modern influencer culture by putting our characters against a ruthless creature that has the true power of influence.”
Ripple World added: “Marco has created an original female Irish twist on the vampire horror genre. We’ve assembled a wonderful young cast and we’re all hungry to get our teeth into the production. Feed is a roller coaster of a film that should have audiences on the edge of their seats and leave them thinking hard about what they wish for.”
Metro International Entertainment is handling international sales on the project.
