Here’s an exclusive teaser trailer for a supernatural thriller Trapped In Abyss, produced by a passionate Team Entourage in association with X Minds Creatives.

Tamil filmmaker Srinath Ramalingam, who co-worked on indie films such as Moby Dick and M.I.L.F. has made his first feature film titled Trapped In Abyss (Tia).

Ramalingam also co-produce and co-wrote the film with Shabeer Sinnalebbe. Tia revolves around a gang which gets trapped in a store and tries to save their souls, while an evil force works to push them to a breaking point.

The film stars Paranormal Activity’s Amber Armstrong along with lesser known Bobby Hicks, Antonia Villalon, Iris Karina and Shihab Sinnalebbe.

Ramalingam, who plans to send the flick to a dozen film festivals, said:

Tia is an independent feature that was shot in order to honour guerilla filmmakers. This production is completely targeted at audiences who like horror films and thrillers.

A notice for a project described as "a feast for the senses from the 19th century in a 20-minute film about the pros of cooking with cannabis" caught Iris Karina's eye online. Cannabis, though, was not the keyword that reeled in this painter–actor–singer–fashion designer born in Vienna. She recalls, "It was shooting in the style of Stanley Kubrick and Tim Burton, and masks to be worn in the style of Cirque du Soleil; it sounded really interesting."The audition took place in a nicely furnished, cozy studio in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles. All the actors were called in to read together, and the environment gave the impression that they were seated around a fireplace. Executive producer–director Serge Rivest noticed in Karina "a woman with a lot of kindness." He adds, "Some actors come in with a big ego. You know? She left that at home.
