Cannes Hot List: Director \/ Producer Susan Dynner Returns to the Riviera with a Shane West Supernatural Thriller Private Screening<\/p>\n

Who’s making big waves at Cannes 2024<\/a>?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So far Sydney Sweeney, Greta Lee, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Yorgos Lanthimos, Panorama CEO Mark Pennell, Catalyst’s Holly Anderson Levow, have all made announcements and Opening Night is still days away.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an already jam-packed schedule, Buyers and Execs are racing to The American Pavilion to get on the list for a just-announced hush-hush screening from Indie Scene Stalwart\u00a0Susan Dynner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After success with Sundance winner “Brick”<\/strong> and previous Cannes hit, “Punk’s Not Dead”<\/strong>, Director \/ Producer Susan Dynner<\/strong> is back on the French Riviera Saturday, May 18.<\/p>\n

Email publicist Henry Eshelman<\/span> to RSVP for the screening\u00a0at <\/span>heshelman@platformgrp.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Soul Trader<\/i><\/b> is a twelve-minute short proof of concept for a feature or series directed by Susan Dynner<\/b> (Brick<\/i>, Punk\u2019s Not Dead<\/i>, Code Blue: A Love Story<\/i>) and starring Shane West<\/b> (A Walk to Remember, ER, The Dirty South<\/i>), Donna Mills <\/b>(Knots Landing, Nope, Origin<\/i>), and newcomer Shauna Grace<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The film screens at The American Pavilion during the 77th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, May 18 at 1530h (3:30PM) CEST, followed by a cocktail and hors d\u2019oeuvre reception at the American Pavilion Terrace.<\/p>\n

RSVP for the screening via publicist Henry Eshelman<\/span>\u00a0at <\/span>heshelman@platformgrp.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe Soul Trader<\/i> introduces a new breed of complex heroine to our screens…”<\/p>\n

Susan Dynner<\/p>\n

Director \/ Producer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“…On one hand, she\u2019s a devoted single mom trying to make ends meet for her ten-year-old son. On the other, she\u2019s a cold, contract killer with occult powers and now rivals want to learn her secrets.<\/p>\n

The Soul Trader <\/i>is directed and produced by Dynner, written by newcomer Mike Underwood<\/b>, photographed by Matthias Schubert<\/b> (The Door Man, Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, Shelter in Solitude<\/i>), produced by Lauren Bancroft<\/b> (The Making of Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles, Wild Bitch, Bite Size Halloween)<\/i>, edited by David Hopper <\/b>(God Bless America, In Between Songs, Rust Creek<\/i>), and executive produced by Shauna Grace<\/b>, with music composed by Jeff Russo<\/b> (Fargo, Ripley<\/i>, Star Trek: Discovery<\/i>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The film has been produced by Dynner\u2019s Los Angeles-based production company Aberration Films<\/b> as both festival fare as well as proof of concept for a feature or TV series.<\/p>\n

The Soul Trader <\/i>follows the story of Coral Chase (Shauna Grace), an occult hitwoman who has the power to steal life-extending souls, which she then sells to vain, wealthy elites like Erica Claessen (Donna Mills), who clings to the crumbs of youth. She\u2019s flanked by stoic bodyguard Damien (Shane West), who ultimately emerges from the shadows as her rival when she\u2019s about to carry out a money-spinning hit at a target\u2019s home and realizes she\u2019s not the only one with murder in mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sexy and provocative short with a killer twist, but I think this is only the beginning. Our short is a proof of concept for something much bigger and we can\u2019t wait to let Coral loose on the world. We were so lucky to pull together an incredibly talented team of actors and crew who brought so much to the shoot and the production.\u201d<\/p>\n

West adds, \u201cWorking on The Soul Trader<\/i> was great fun. It\u2019s good to flex your Machiavellian muscles every now and again and I got to do that playing Damien. It\u2019s a short that packs a big punch and has huge potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
