Award-Winning Texas Filmmaking Duo Comes Home With Sci-Fi Adventure TIME TRAP To Screen at 2018 WorldFest Houston

When the mother of Texas filmmaker Ben Foster arrived to the U.S. from Cuba in 1965, she first settled in Houston, and so began her American life in the Lone Star State's largest metropolis.

Her son will now return to the city she first called home to screen his latest film, Time Trap, at the WorldFest Houston Film Festival later this month.

"There are lots of talented people all over the world whose CURIOSITY and creativity are squashed by tyranny," says Foster, the co-founder of Pad Thai Pictures. "My grandparents left everything in Cuba to give our family a chance at a life of freedom and I'm grateful to have a chance to do what I love and make movies."

The riveting film, which IndieWire has called an "innovative new sci-fi adventure that rips apart both space and time at its very seams" has been generating quite a lot of buzz from critics and audiences alike since it first set out on the film festival circuit.

The mind- and time-bending adventure, which follows a group of fledgling archaeology students trapped inside a mysterious cave (shot in Texas), was recently named an Official Selection in Austin, Seattle and Woodstock, New York; and took home the Jury Prize for Most Innovative Narrative Feature at the 20th Annual Hollywood Film Festival late last year.

Foster and Mark Dennis, his directing partner and the writer of Time Trap, will bring their newest film to Houston during its 51st Annual WorldFest Houston International Independent Film Festival on Saturday, April 21st at 7 p.m. at the Cinemark in Memorial City, its newest home.

The film features an all-star cast of indie film darlings and primetime television heavyweights including Cassidy Gifford (The Gallows), Reiley McClendon ("The Fosters," ABC), Brianne Howey ("The Exorcist," FOX) and others.
