After its World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, Magnet Releasing has acquired North American rights to writer/director Mali Elfman‘s genre movie Next Exit and is planning a theatrical release in November.

In the film…

“When a research scientist makes national news proving she can track people into the afterlife, Rose sees a way out and Teddy sees his chance to finally make it. These two strangers, both harboring dark secrets, race to join the doctor’s contentious study and leave this life behind. While Rose is haunted by a ghostly presence that she can’t outrun, Teddy is forced to confront his past. As these two misfits humorously quarrel their way across the country, they meet people along the way who force them to reckon with what is really driving them.”

Rahul Kohli (“Midnight Mass”) stars alongside Katie Parker, Rose Mciver, Tongayi Chirisa, Tim Griffin, Diva Zappa, Nico Evers-Swindell and Karen Gillan (Dual) in Next Exit.

Meagan Navarro reviewed the film, writing that “Elfman’s supernatural drama uses life-after-death as a springboard for a rumination on life and past traumas via a heartfelt road trip movie.”

Next Exit is presented by Helmstreet Productions, produced by Syzygy Adventures, and is a Mali Elfman film. The film is produced by Derek Bishe, P.G.A., and Narineh Hacopian P.G.A. Executive producers are Lindsay Helms, Joel Nevells, and Brett W. Bachman.
