Starring Obie-winner Brittany Bradford (“Julia,” “Dead Ringers,” “The Watcher) and Issac W. Jay (“Head Count,” “Lessons in Chemistry”), the movie follows a couple during a last minute trip to a cabin. “But when an obnoxious third [Gloria Bangiola] when arrives,” the logline reads, “they worry their relationship may be in trouble.”

The film is produced by Geldzahler, Christopher Fox, Norris Guncheon and executive produced by Sara McFarlane.

“With the holidays approaching, I’m excited to release our film about loved ones driving each other insane while isolated from an increasingly uncomfortable world,” Geldzahler said in a statement Monday.

Gravitas Ventures SVP of acquisitions and operations Bill Guentzler also said, “Gravitas Ventures is excited to be bringing ‘Glue Trap’ to audiences this December. Director Justin Geldzahler brilliantly captures the fine line between intimacy and being too close for comfort.”

Geldzahler is represented by Sasha Levites and Mynda R. Krato of Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz and Merideth Bajana and Cooper McCary of Untitled Entertainment.

Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment company, was founded in 2006. Recent releases include “Deep Fear,” “Slotherhouse,” “Padre Pio,” “Gringa,” “The Pez Outlaw,” “Downwind,” “Mack & Rita,” “The King’s Daughter,” “Queen Bees,” “Our Friend,” “Vanguard and “The Secret: Dare to Dream.”
