Alia, who made her producing debut in 2022 with the movie Darlings on Netflix India, is thrilled to be involved. She declared, “It is an honor for me and the entire team at Eternal Sunshine Productions to be a part of this immensely important project. Poacher had a profoundly personal effect on me and the team, and Richie’s depiction of the pressing problem of wildlife crime struck a chord.
She added that she was moved by the issue. “The storytelling genuinely moved me, especially knowing it’s based on true events, that shed light on brutal crimes occurring in our forests. I am confident Poacher will serve as an eye-opener, delivering a powerful message to be more compassionate and considerate towards all living beings. It’s a call to embrace coexistence and I am genuinely thrilled to contribute to this narrative,” Alia said.
The joining of Alia at Poacher is genuinely a dream come true, according to QC principals Edward H. Hamm Jr., Raymond Mansfield, and Sean McKittrick. She has demonstrated herself to be a selfless philanthropist in addition to being a talented actor, using her well-earned notoriety to support deserving causes. Her participation in this series contributes to increasing public awareness of the significant issues the program tackles.
Poacher also features editor Beverly Mills, composer Andrew Lockington, and DOP Johan Aidt. In collaboration with Suitable Pictures, Poor Man’s Productions, and Eternal Sunshine Productions, QC Entertainment is producing the television series.
