Creepy and eccentric Director Mason Maestro completes what he believes to be one of his best movies and hosts a grand premiere for "That's a Wrap."

The cast, led by Monique Parent and Sarah French, injects humor and authenticity into their roles, while actress Eve Marlowe is in a delightful homage to Hitchcock's Psycho adds intensity.
