James L. Edwards, actor and screenwriter from such 1990s shot-on-video favorites as Ozone, Bloodletting and Polymorph, has turned director with the psychological drama/romantic horror story Her Name Was Christa. He released several teasers for the film already, and only recently dropped the full trailer for the film below.
A production of Ohio-based Buffalora Entertainment Group, Her Name Was Christa also stars Edwards, along with Shianne Daye, Bang Tango guitarist Drew Fortier, Rick Jermain and Kaylee Williams (Model Hunger), with cameos by Sasha Graham (Addicted to Murder), Shatter Dead director Scooter McCrae, Barbara Norrod (Skinned Alive), Gary Lee Vincent and The Dead Next Door/Polymorph director J.R. Bookwalter.
“While Christa, at its base, is a very uncomfortable horror story, its real terror is the idea of getting older and being alone,” Edwards says. “When I wrote the screenplay, I was probably at the worst point in my life. I had just turned 40, I was in the early stages of my second divorce and I was discovering that my life was in a downward spiral. Christa was essentially the overexaggerated ‘what if’ of what the future could hold.”
Synopsis-
Stephen [Edwards] is a socially awkward, middle-aged telemarketer and is desperately alone. At the suggestion of a co-worker, he goes out into the night to find a prostitute for ‘The Girlfriend Experience.’ With this, he meets Christa [Daye], a streetwise call girl who’s happy to fulfill his needs. Yet something unexpected happens. What starts as a business agreement blossoms into true love. But what happens when death enters the picture? How far would you go to keep the one person you’ve always wanted?
