Bitter Souls Screening
This month, we held our Film Tampa Bay Presents screening of Bitter Souls at the Tampa Theatre. After the film, Tyler led an in-depth Q&A with the cast (Avaryana Rose, Michael McKeever, and Tristan Green) and writer/producer Ed McKeever. The Q&A can be viewed here.
Bitter Souls is about a teenage girl who is resurrected after a tragic accident using black magic. She uses her new-found powers to exact vengeance on her tormentors.
