"Girl on the Third Floor"
Phil Brooks, aka former WWE Champion C.M. Punk, makes move into acting with Girl on the Third Floor, a chiller that represents the directorial debut of producer Travis Stevens. Brooks’ Don Koch and his pregnant wife Liz (Loves Her Gun’s Trieste Kelly Dunn) purchase a beautiful old house in the seemingly quiet Illinois neighbor of Frankfort. Don takes it upon himself to fix up the house before the couple moves in. Only Don is not aware that the house has a dark history. Or that it is possibly haunted. Girl on the Third Floor will screen 8:30 p.m. March 15 at the Alamo South Lamar during this year’s SXSW Film Festival. Writer/director Travis Stevens previously produced Mohawk, 68 Kill, Buster’s Mal Heart, We Are Still Here, Starry Eyes, and Cheap Thrills. Stevens shot Girl on the Third Floor at the former brothel and reputed haunted house in Frankfort, Ill., that inspired him to write and direct the film. The cast also includes Sarah Brooks as the mysterious Sarah, whose sudden arrival sets off a chain of strange events that forces Don to confront his own past; Elissa Dowling as the house’s otherworldly occupant Sadie; and Travis Delgado as Don’s buddy Milo.
