Premiere Night: RiverRun Film Festival

Author K. Stephens, lead actors Greer Grammer, Zak Steiner, and director/producer James Khanlarian at the premiere of The Ghost Trap at the Hanesbrands Theatre in Winston-Salem, April 19, 2024 (Missing from this line up is producer Peter Couture who had to fly to Amsterdam the night before.)

The Ghost Trap
Narrative Feature
The haunting story of Jamie Eugley, a young lobsterman who is forced to choose between right and wrong when his fiancée suffers a traumatic head injury, and a rival lobstering family sabotages his gear.

The evening was lots of fun. The film started at 8 p.m. and we sat up in the balcony, watching the audience's reaction. Some laughs, but really quiet at the end--they didn't applaud until the final credits rolled. Then they had us all up on stage for an informal Q&A, ranging from how was the book discovered, how did Zak prepare for his Maine accent, how did Greer prepare for her portrayal of someone with a traumatic brain injury and how many weeks did we film in Maine? Then, off to an after party at an old southern Gothic mansion filled with eclectic art. A beautiful night all around!

Greer Grammer portrays Anja, the live-in love of lobsterman Jamie Eugley, played by Zak Steiner.
