Cassidy Gifford is leading a group of students to find the most coveted urban legend in history, the Fountain of Youth, in order to truly save their lives. But the college coeds’ relentless pursuit for control over the passing of time may unfortunately be the very thing that puts their lives in danger. The undergrads’ dangerous pursuit of the fountain is highlighted in the new poster for the upcoming sci-fi-sdventure film, ‘Time Trap.’

The key art is helping to promote the action movie’s forthcoming World Premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF). ‘Time Trap’ is scheduled to screen on Friday, May 19 at 9:00pm at SIFF Cinema Uptown; Saturday, May 20 at 4:00pm at AMC Pacific Place; and Tuesday, May 30 at 6:30pm at Shoreline.

The drama was directed by Ben Fost and Mark Dennis, who also penned the script. The filmmaking duo reunited for ‘Time Trap’ after they previously helmed the 2011 thriller, ‘Strings,’ together, which Dennis also penned. The directors both also served as producers on their new venture, much like their previous collaboration. Zachary Matz, whose company, filmsmith, was one of the production companies on ‘Time Trap,’ also served as a producer. In addition to Gifford, the sci-fi movie also stars Reiley McClendon, Andrew Wilson, Olivia Draguicevich, Max Wright and Brianne Howey.

SIFF has released the following synopsis for ‘Time Trap,’ which was shot on location in Texas and California:

When his mentor Professor Hopper (Wilson) goes missing while exploring a remote system of deep caverns in rural Texas, Taylor (McClendon) organizes an informal search party with his best gal pal Jackie (Howey) and fellow student (and crush) Cara (Gifford). Tagging along on the journey are Cara’s younger sister, Veeves (Draguicevich), and her geeky friend Furby (Wright).

Upon arriving at the caves, they discover an abandoned van nearby that once belonged to Hopper’s long-missing parents. Intrigued by the find, the group descends into the caverns, but in their search for Hopper they encounter a number of strange phenomena. It soon becomes apparent that the impossible exists—a rift in the space-time continuum where time passes more slowly within the cave than on the surface, and they are not the only ones to have become stuck here. With no hope for rescue, they descend further into the caverns, discovering one of the most coveted legends in history—the Fountain of Youth—only to be caught in the crossfire for its control.
