We are so happy to announce our second feature film ‘Manhunt’ is premiering at Locarno film festival this August and is in the main competition for the golden leopard 🐆🏆! @filmfestlocarno - it’s an honour to have a feature film in this festival for the second year in a row.

It was such a wild and unforgettable journey casting this film, nearly six months of street casting and traditional casting to find this incredible ensemble. We couldn’t be more excited to introduce these remarkable young talents in their very first feature film. See you in Locarno 🌹
