Experiencing Interruptions?

A Twisted Path

Katharine sees supernatural things that others don’t. She experiences panic attacks daily which leads her to a phone session with Belinda, a spiritual counselor that understands Katharine’s gifts. She is instructed to be open to an unlikely profession which leads her to working with C.J. in a holistic store. As Katharine’s gifts continue to unfold, Belinda validates a dream that Katharine privately shares with her of a faceless man. Her dream begins to unfold after she meets Austin Hart while moonlighting for a psychic hotline. Austin is experiencing the dark night of the soul after the loss of his son, Alex. Suddenly, they begin a journey down an unexpected, twisted path of events that will challenge their love and every spiritual belief they have ever had.

Director Biography - Ray Thompson

Although my Director days as an Army officer on the battlefield are over, I'm excited for the opportunity to utilize my skills and abilities in filmmaking and scriptwriting. I've done some background acting and commercials but once I put on the director hat while filming A Twisted Path, I knew that's where I belonged. I love interacting with the variety of skills and talent involved in creating a film. I love being involved with the orchestration of such a creative process. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and I want to help bring some of those stories to the movie screen for all to see.
