Yellow Veil Pictures has boarded worldwide sales rights on “Mother of Flies.” The indie feature is the latest supernatural horror from the family directing trio of John Adams, Toby Poser and their daughter, Zelda Adams.
The official logline for the film reads, “When a young woman faces a deadly diagnosis, she seeks dark magic from a witch in the woods. But every cure has its cost.”

Poser, John Adams and Zelda Adams direct as well as star alongside Lulu Adams. Poser serves as producer. Yellow Veil Pictures will present the first footage to buyers at the Cannes Film Festival in the coming days.
Previous credits for Poser, John Adams and Zelda Adams, serving as directors and stars, include “The Deeper You Dig,” “Where the Devil Roams,” and “Hellbender.” The trio’s breakout hit “Hellbender” was acquired by horror streamer Shudder in 2021 ahead of its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival.
Directing credits for John Adams and Poser include “Kunckle Jack,” “The Shoot,” “Halfway to Zen” and “Hell Hole.”
“‘Mother of Flies’ feels like a spiritual sequel to ‘Hellbender,’ showcasing the family at their best: mining their own personal histories to create something beautifully morbid,” said Yellow Veil co-founder Joe Yanick.
Founded by Hugues Barbier, Justin Timms and Yanick in 2018, Yellow Veil Pictures is a bicoastal distribution company specializing in indie and art house cinema. Other films from Yellow Veil include “Dead Lover,” “Rats!, “Dream Team,” “The Other Laurnes,” “Riddle of Fire” and “Once Upon a Time in Uganda.”
