THE SOUL TRADER, a new supernatural thriller from director/producer Susan Dynner and her production company Aberration Films, will have three screenings around the country in September, beginning with a Labor Day screening at LA’s Rock the Shorts Film Festival. That’s followed by the DC Shorts Film Festival and the Calabasas Film Festival, with more to come. The film’s gathered fans, accolades and media attention since its preview screenings at the American Pavilion at Cannes, the Manhattan Film Festival and others.
THE SOUL TRADER is a proof-of-concept for a feature or TV series that follows the story of Coral Chase (newcomer Shauna Grace)—an occult hitwoman who has the power to steal life-extending souls. She then sells them to vain, wealthy elites like Erica Claessen (Donna Mills), who clings to the crumbs of youth. She’s flanked by stoic bodyguard Damien (Shane West), who ultimately emerges from the shadows as her rival when she’s about to carry out a money-spinning hit at a target’s home and realizes she’s not the only one with murder in mind.
