From The Press Release:

DefTone Pictures Studios Inc continues to put Buffalo New York on the map with their film productions. Currently in preproduction is their next feature film: a horror comedy entitled A Grim Becoming. Directed by Adam R Steigert (Ombis 2013) and written by Janeen Avery, Christopher Brechtel, Mark Mendola and Adam R Steigert.

Newcomer Christopher Marriott (B.Y.O.D.) is in talks with DefTone to play lead role of Raphael. Raphael is a young, bitter executive who is on the verge of long a multimillion dollar architectural deal with a large distribution company lead by the awkward Stanford brothers. Raphael suffers a sudden death in his family and has to immediately leave to go to the funeral in his home town of Metzburgh. Seeing this as his big chance to get ahead is Wayne, a jealous co-worker who is in competition with Raphael. Wayne is being played by Syfy's Ghost Hunters and The Black Dahlia Haunting’s (2012) Britt Griffith. As Raphael returns to Metzburgh, he experiences a life changing event: witnesng a Grim Reaper taking a soul. This ghting results in Raphael becoming a Reaper and having to explore his own conscience and the lengths he will go to get his own life back. But Death, played by Michael Sciabarra (Ombis, Black Guy on a Rampage: Homicidal Vengeance), has other plans for the naive young executive. In addition, A Grim Becoming also reunites scream queens Devanny Pinn (Jamie) and Jesca Cameron (Life).
