The film is based on the true story of Sweden’s first woman to be killed for practicing the dark arts.

Freestyle Digital Media has announced that it will release FEED on all North American digital HD Internet, cable and satellite platforms as well as DVD on May 9. Johannes Persson directed from a screenplay by Paolo Vacirca and Henry Stenberg, and the cast is headed by Molly Nutley, Sofia Kappel, Annica Liljeblad, Vincent Grahl, Joel Lützow, Emelina Rosenstielke, Amanda Lindh, Michael Odhag and Emma Suki. The synopsis: “When a murder turns into a myth and becomes a popular tourist attraction, influencers soon try to ride the wave of ‘ghost tourism’ to market various tourist destinations for clients. The story begins when a young medical student joins her influencer boyfriend on one of his marketing jobs after being hired to help an old family business to thrive. But they soon find themselves stuck on a tiny island in a lake in which an ancient Swedish witch, Märit, is said to live. The goal is to make potential tourists believe that old witch, Märit, lives in the lake around a commercial camping site–but there’s soon reason to believe that Märit is more than just a made-up ghost story.”
