The Candy Shop Short Film has premiered. Brandon McCormick‘s The Candy Shop (2010) stars Doug Jones, Mattie Liptak, Abigail Monet, Ron Prather, and George Wentworth. The Candy Shop (2010)’s plot synopsis: “Jimmy Balcom’s new job selling newspapers is a God-send to a kid working hard to help his family survive during the depression. But then Jimmy figures out what’s happening in the candy shop across the street. And he is confronted with a choice that no twelve-year-old should ever have to face. Giving his family a better life, or keeping his soul. Doug Jones (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) stars as the Candy Shop owner in this original film from Whitestone Motion Pictures in conjunction with Street Grace. The Candy Shop is a film initiative to help fight against child sex trafficking. This film is being made for the Doorpost Film Project, and with support from 12Stone® Church and Street Grace.

This beautifully shot short film tells the story of a candy shop owner (played by Jones) who looks like the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and Jigsaw had a love child that was born with lupus. He’s ghoulish, and he has a machine that turns little girls into candy. But it’s okay, right? Because there’s a market for it. One young man is lured into working for him and must choose between making the money to keep food on his family’s table and keeping his soul. The whole fantasy is a parable about child sex trafficking. It’s a haunting movie, and it was made to help raise awareness and money to...
