Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh –
the visionary director behind acclaimed films like Traffic, Erin Brockovich and Behind
the Candelabra – brings viewers an innovative six-part limited series
called Mosaic on Tuesdays at 21h00 on
M-Net channel 101.
Set against the backdrop of a mountain
resort town, Mosaic follows popular
children’s book author and illustrator Olivia Lake (Oscar nominee Sharon
Stone), whose literary success makes her a local celebrity in the tight-knit
community. When she sets her sights on a handsome young newcomer in town – an
aspiring graphic artist named Joel Hurley – their flirtation leads to him
accepting her offer for a place to stay and work. Passion, jealousy and deceit
quickly make themselves clear with the arrival of Joel’s girlfriend, Laura, as
well as a chance meeting with a charming but duplicitous stranger named Eric
Neill.
In true Soderbergh style, the story ups the
ante with an intricate murder-mystery: When Olivia disappears on New Year’s Day
leaving behind a blood-soaked studio, the series becomes a whodunit and it’s up
to detective Nate Henry and Eric’s sister Petra to unravel the mystery.
In November 2017, Mosaic was featured as the first narrative piece on PodOp’s newly
unveiled interactive, mobile storytelling app. Through the Mosaic app, viewers
are offered an intuitive form of engagement enabling them to choose from which
point of view to follow the story and, in effect, build their own experience
from the material created and curated by Soderbergh and writer Ed Solomon. This
serves as an exciting prelude to the six-part television version of the series
and allows viewers to see how Soderbergh’s narrative compares to the ones
they’ve created with the app.
Delving into the psychological
underpinnings of love and murder in a small town, this mystery-crime-drama has
an ensemble cast with Sharon Stone (Basic
Instinct, Casino), Garrett Hedlund (Mudbound),
Frederick Weller (In Plain Sight),
Jennifer Ferrin (The Knick), Beau
Bridges (Masters of Sex), Paul
Reubens (Gotham), Devin Ratray (The Tick), James Ransone (The First), Jeremy Bobb (The Knick), Michael Cerveris (The Tick) and Maya Kazan (Boardwalk Empire).
Directed by Steven Soderbergh and written
by Ed Solomon (Men in Black, Charlie’s
Angels), Mosaic is executive
produced by Casey Silver (Godless, The
Forbidden Kingdom) and Michael Polaire (Logan
Lucky, The Knick). Adrian Sack is co-executive producer.
