‘Queen of the South’s’ Alice Braga, ‘3%’s’ Bianca Comparato Launch South With Gabriela Amaral Almeida’s ‘She, Crocodile’ (EXCLUSIVE)
South is a new production company based in New York, Los Angeles and São Paulo, backed by LatAm holding company FLAGCX.
Described by the producers as a “horror fable,” “She, Crocodile” is the story of a young woman, the sole heiress to a luxury real estate brokerage in Rio de Janeiro, who slowly transforms into one of the titular reptiles. According to Amaral, a rising genre filmmaker behind fan and festival favorites such as the Fantasia Cheval Noir winner “The Father’s Shadow” and six-time Cinema Brazil Grand Prize nominee “Friendly Beast”: “‘She, Crocodile’ arose from my need to portray violence from the perspective of capitalism and women’s issues. South also holds the film rights to several Brazilian books it plans to adapt, including “Diorama” from Carol Bensimon, “The Sound of the Jaguar’s Roar” by Micheliny Verunschk, “Palimpsesto” by Elvira Vigna and “Gótico Nordestino” by Christiano Aguiar.
