Echelon Studios Signs Award-Winning Thriller ‘Thirst Trap’

“Thirst Trap” is available to stream exclusively on Mometu following film festival triumph

Echelon Studios is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Thirst Trap, the gripping new thriller from acclaimed director Chantal Massuh-Fox.

The film was declared the winner of the 2024 Echelon Studios International Film Festival trailer competition, sponsored by popular free streaming platform, Mometu, earning the highest number of views to secure its place as a top contender in this year’s festival.

The film was also recently honored with the Best Feature Award of Excellence at the SoCal Film Awards, claimed the Best Movie Award at the Megaflix Film Awards, and earned an official selection for this year’s Hollywood Horrorfest.

Thirst Trap stars actress and Playboy centerfold Grace Gordon as a struggling cam girl with dreams of Hollywood stardom, only to attract the attention of a fan whose obsession could cost her everything.

“We are beyond excited to partner with Chantal to bring Thirst Trap to a wider audience,” said Sandro Gohoho, President of Licensing at Echelon Studios. “Her unique vision and ability to craft edge-of-your-seat tension made this film an obvious choice for us. We can’t wait for viewers to experience this incredible story.”

Speaking on the film and the deal, Director Chantal Massuh-Fox said: “I created Thirst Trap to shed light on the violence faced by women, particularly the dangers and stigma that sex workers endure both online and in everyday life. The film, loosely based on my own experiences, aims to spark a conversation about these issues, especially in the wake of the OnlyFans boom. Winning the trailer competition and now signing with Echelon Studios is a dream come true. The support from Echelon Studios and Mometu, and the incredible response from viewers has been overwhelming.”

Thirst Trap is streaming exclusively on Mometu, where it is already gaining popularity as one of the must-watch thrillers. Bryan Louzil, VP of Business Development for Mometu, shared his enthusiasm, saying: “Thirst Trap is a truly deserving independent story to be showcased. The film’s gripping storyline has captivated audiences and we’re excited to be the exclusive streaming platform for such a bold and impactful film.”

Thirst Trap is streaming now only on Mometu, but will soon be available on other major platforms, bringing this thrilling drama to even more movie fans.
