LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESSWIRE / January 15, 2025 / EXCLUSIVE: Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment Company, has acquired worldwide rights to Body of Water, a powerful psychological thriller produced by Zoom Out Productions LLC, a BIPOC woman-owned production company. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Terrisha "TK" Kearse, the film reveals the gripping story of a man taking justice into his own hands after suffering a deep tragedy at the hands of those he should be able to trust. The film dives head-first into the dynamics of the human experience from love and family to prejudice and racism.
With stellar performances by David Wendell Boykins, Kiya Roberts, and a breakout debut performance from Dallas Schaefer, Body of Water won the Best Indie Feature Award at the 2023 Remember The Future Cannes World Film Festival in December. Its U.S. premiere at the 2024 American Black Film Festival further cemented its status as an indie standout.
"We are thrilled to partner with Gravitas Ventures, bringing this compelling story to audiences worldwide," said Tara Carbajal co-owner of Zoom Out Productions. "Terrisha Kearse's direction and the cast's remarkable performances make this a must-see that really hits home for so many people."
Gravitas will introduce the film to global markets, taking this high-stakes thought-provoking storytelling to broad audiences.
