The Ghost Trap, the drama/thriller film starring Zak Steiner, Greer Grammer, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Steven Ogg will be available to rent or purchase on digital and DVD, along with a limited theatrical release in select U.S. theaters starting Friday, November 1, 2024.
Also starring in the film are Taylor Takahashi, Xander Berkeley, Sarah Clarke, Billy Wirth, and Heather Thomas.
James Khanlarian directed from a script by K. Stephens which is based on the book Stevens authored by the same name
The Ghost Trap follows a young lobsterman who must navigate moral dilemmas after his girlfriend suffers a traumatic head injury after being swept off his boat by a rogue wave. This leads to sabotage by a rival family, sparking a deadly trap war.
The Ghost Trap had its world festival premiere at the 2024 RiverRun International Film Festival, was selected as the opening film for the 2024 Valley Film Festival and the Vermont Film Festival and played to sold out crowds at Maine film festivals, including Maine International Film Festival, Vacationland, and Maine Outdoor Film Festival.
“It all starts with the source material, and in this case, we got our hands on a great novel,” said Khanlarian. “Our cast came together, almost by magic. Every time something went wrong during casting, it worked out in our favor, and we ended up with the most talented cast and crew with which I’ve ever worked.”
The producers for The Ghost Trap include Peter A. Couture, Simon Fawcett, Larry Mortorff, Greer Grammer, Zak Steiner, James Khanlarian, and K. Stephens. The Ghost Trap is James Khanlarian’s feature directorial debut.
“A ghost trap is a lobsterman’s wire trap that has been cut off at the surface and is lost and forgotten at the bottom,” said writer K. Stephens. “It symbolizes the inward and outward struggles of a young lobsterman who faces oppressive responsibilities and tangled loyalties as he longs to be something more than he is.”
The film’s theatrical release will take place in the following theaters:
Belfast, ME – Colonial Theatre
Leonminster, MA – Entertainment Center 12
Hackettstown, NJ – Mansfield Cinema 13
Wilmington, DE – Penn Riverfront Cinema
