BENEATH CRIMSON SALES (Steven Kammerer, 2026 / 95 minutes / Rating TBD) Fiercely independent Catherine will stop at nothing to find the missing half of a cursed treasure map and avenge her father’s death. But when she crosses paths with the mysterious—and dashingly handsome—Rob, a young pirate captain with secrets of his own, buried truths come to light, and they come face to face with a hidden link to her past that could either unite them… or destroy them both.
