Soulmate sales to begin at AFM

Genesis Film Sales will commence global sales on Soulmate at this year’s American Film Market (AFM). It will follow Soulmate’s world premiere at the 46^th Sitges International Film Festival this month.

The supernatural thriller stars Anna Walton (Hellboy 2), Tom Wisdom (300), Nick Brimble (A Knight’s Tale) and Emma Cleasby (Dog Soldiers) and marks the feature debut of director Axelle Carolyn, who has acted in Neil Marshall’s Centurion and Doomsday. Carolyn also penned the script.

The film is produced by Claire Otway and is a Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers, Centurion) presentation for production company Sterling Pictures.

Executive producers on the film are Michael Riley, John Wolstenholme and Doug Abbott for Screen Projex, alongside Belgian co-producer Title Media.

Ian Hall, CEO of Genesis said: “Director Axelle Carolyn successfully bridges the gap between actor and filmmaker, having written and directed three highly regarded short films and produced a fourth.

“She has stuck to a genre she loves and is familiar with, yet her story breaks with convention. This is a must-see for horror fans around the world.”

Soulmate follows a young woman who retreats to a remote cottage after a failed suicide attempt.  She soon discovers the cottage is haunted by its previous owner but decides to remain, hoping to find comfort in the ghost.
