Stephens. “That could have been my book, published so long ago. But thanks to the producers and to my Maine lobstermen friends who believed in it and backed me up every step of the way, this film is gorgeous and gritty, featuring a culture that people rarely get to see.” <\/p>\n Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire THE GHOST TRAP through Alex Nohe at Blood Sweat Honey.<\/p>\n Steiner and Hook are repped by Gersh and Luber Roklin Entertainment.<\/p>\n Grammer is represented by Stagecoach Entertainment and Innovative Artists. <\/p>\n Ogg is repped by Buchwald. <\/p>\n Khanlarian is repped by Barry Krost Management.<\/p>\n THE GHOST TRAP website: www.theghosttrap.com<\/a> <\/p>\n About Freestyle Digital Media For more information, visit: Eric Peterkofsky
