More About RZR
The RZR teaser opens up with a haunting monologue, explaining that Grimm “cannot suffer another failed craniotomy.” His neural implant device “is the next evolution of mankind and will change everything,” and images flash of a labyrinth of Grimm’s lair, a surgical robotic arm, and the mysterious yet compelling palette of Cyberpunk style characters in a world that feels reminiscent of Black Mirror, Mr. Robot and Children of Men. The top-notch cinematography is gritty yet slick, creating an enticing new world for science fiction enthusiasts.
RZR was produced entirely in Los Angeles, and Noelle Hubbell (Don’t Worry Darling) produced the project alongside Bianchi. Episode directors include two-time Emmy-winner Yuri Alves (Grind), Christopher Folkens (Catalyst), and RZR co-writer Daniel J. Pico (Marfa Girl).
"Gala Film is proud to produce this project with David, continuing our mission to empower artists in the entertainment industry by giving them creative control," explained Gala COO Sarah Buxton. “With this marking Gala Film's debut project, we’re breaking new ground in how entertainment is presented to audiences around the globe."
RZR will release exclusively on Gala Film in the Fall of 2023.
