Here is the trailer for the crowdfunded film Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls, written and directed by Andrew Bowser.
He is also the creator behind the TikTok account Onyx the Fortuitous, which revolves around the misunderstood Marcus J. Trillbury, who seems to prefer living in a fantasy world. About the film, they write:
Misunderstood by all who know him, Marcus J. Trillbury (Bowser), aka Onyx the Fortuitous, is struggling to find purpose in his soul-devouring side gig. But just when it seems he’s ready to throw in the towel, he receives a coveted invitation to the mansion of his idol Bartok the Great (Jeffrey Combs, Re-Animator) for a ritual to raise the spirit of an ancient demon. Ecstatic, he joins Bartok, his mysterious delegate Farrah (Olivia Taylor Dudley, The Magicians), and a collection of fellow devotees as they prepare for the ceremony, but quickly it becomes apparent things are not what they seem. As Onyx and his new friends fight to keep their souls, he must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice in order to meet his destiny.
Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls has already been shown at various film festivals and will soon be screened in theaters in the USA.
