DEADLY DEALINGS was directed by Adam Freeman from a script he wrote alongside Dixie Gers and Jake Zelch. The filmmakers set out to immerse the audience in a surreal experience where a dream morphs into a nightmare. The team dedicated immense effort to give fans a unique twist on the horror genre, blending various supernatural influences with vibrant colors, blood, and glitter.

Fans of Suspiria and Blood & Black Lace will instantly recognize the homage to the vivid and haunting aesthetics of Italian Technicolor horror in this high concept, gorgeously shot 1980s neon horror tribute.

Jonah's dynamic presence has been felt in various films and TV shows, including her memorable performance in Donald Farmer’s 2015 cult hit, "Shark Exorcist," which gained attention from Stephen King for its audacity.
