Set in an Alternative Dystopian Los Angeles, Gala Films'
Groundbreaking Series, "RZR," Takes Audiences into a World of AI
and Brain-Computer Interfacing.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - Gala Film, the leading
decentralized streaming platform, announces the Global
Premiere of its first-ever streaming series, RZR, on April 14, 2024. Starring and created by
Award-winning actor and filmmaker David
Bianchi (Queen of The South), "RZR" brings a gritty new
perspective to science fiction storytelling, bringing viewers into
a world of neural implants, artificial intelligence, hacker
culture, and black-market crime. This short-form series, broken
into eight 15-minute episodes, is set to debut on Gala Film for
free, boasting a celebrity-studded cast including BAFTA nominee and
SAG Award winner Mena Suvari
(American Beauty), Emilio Rivera
(Mayans MC), Primetime Emmy nominee Richard
Cabral (American Crime) and iconic genre legend Danny Trejo. According to Bianchi:
"Very little short-form content can compete
with RZR from a cast and a production value perspective. The team
that I was able to assemble is world-class. I'm very grateful for
those incredible creators."
The RZR cast works as a tight ensemble to tell the story of
Grimm, a hacker plagued by memories of his time as a soldier in a
nuclear conflict. Determined to survive in this dystopian
Los Angeles, he strives to
'bio-hack' himself in order to connect his mind directly with the
internet in order to save the world from itself. In this conceptual
world, AI is deeply intertwined with the lives of humans- from AI
romantic partners to assistants to surgeons; RZR contemplates a
world beyond the realm of imagination for most,
where Bitcoin is over $100,000, and computer chips can be embedded into
the human brain. According to Grimm:
"This is the kind of tech that people would
kill for if they could access it"
RZR guides audiences into its dystopian premise, Mr.
Robot style, thanks to a number of talented directors,
including Emmy winner Yuri Alves,
Christopher Folkens, and co-writer
Daniel J. Pico. These auteurs worked
in close collaboration with Bianchi, producer Noelle Hubbell, and cinematographer Matthew Plaxco. This team of creative leaders
has brought RZR to an extraordinary level of production value,
bringing the look and feel of Hollywood cinema to episodic short-form online
streaming, thanks to Gala Film. According to Bianchi:
"This is the first title to come out of Gala
Film; it's unprecedented. We have a Web3 company that is partnering
exclusively with Hollywood to
create triple-A level cinematic content that is going to function
on the node ecosystem on Gala Film, layer one. Gala has always been
on the brink of technology and cutting-edge leadership in the Web3
space. Their ability to see the future and understand trends is
unparalleled."
In a pioneering move, Gala Film is introducing an innovative
mechanism for fans to engage with the RZR universe – Mystery Boxes.
These digital wonders unlock exclusive content, providing a unique,
interactive experience that allows viewers to delve deeper into the
storyline and become part of the narrative fabric. According to
Eric Schiermeyer, founder of
Gala:
"We are hoping to unlock a new way for
fans to connect with the content they love. Gala is building ways
for fans to tangibly own a piece of the world created by
visionaries like Bianchi."

2024, and prepare to be part of the future of
entertainment.
