Wide Management has acquired a new film by Marc Barrat entitled Gold Fever for international sales. Produced by Mat Films' Richard Magnien, the film will be released by Rezo Films in France.

Set in French Guyana, the story follows Rod who returns to his native country, accompanied by Gonz, his childhood friend. In Cayenne, they begin an investigation into Rod's past that leads them right into the heart of the virgin forest and the camps of the illegal gold prospectors.

Barrat won a prize from France's CNC for his first screenplay in 2003. This is his first feature and is currently in pre-production.
