CHINA WHITE SERPENTINE
Written and directed by Eric Stanze and Robin Garrels.
Produced by Jeremy Wallace, Chris Belt, Ron Bonk, and Eric Stanze.
This very small, rapidly shot film was commissioned primarily for European distribution. To date, it is probably Stanze’s least-seen and least-talked-about movie.

Trent was enticed by dark forces, entrapped in a lair of sin, and placed under the control of Tracey, a drug-dealing seductress. It was a world of erotic indulgence, frequent drug use, and dangerous mind games. This was Tracey’s world, and it eventually killed Trent. Another junkie named Beth, who was also seduced and killed by Tracey, appears to Trent’s brother Dave. Beth begins to pull Dave into the nightmare that killed his sibling Trent. Dave’s sanity spirals out of control as he is assaulted by realizations of Trent’s dark past. The prick of needles, the pain of violence, and the pleasures of naked flesh create a tempest of desire and agony that engulfs Dave. It is his task to unlock the dark, seedy mysteries of Trent’s past while surviving the journey himself.
