A New Year’s Eve remembrance becomes a bargain with consequences.
Each bottle requires a wish in Spirit Tasting. Three former bandmates visit a distillery on New Year’s Eve to remember their late friend, then enter a tasting whose conditions turn their desires into the source of danger. Official exhibitor synopsis and production description.
The occasion already puts the past and the future beside each other. The friends have gathered because someone is missing, on a night associated with what comes next. The tasting gives that combination a literal mechanism: what they wish for can alter the evening. Official exhibitor synopsis and production description.
The official exhibition description identifies The Monkey’s Paw as a reference for the story’s wish-and-consequence structure. That establishes the relationship at the level of the premise without specifying how each character’s bargain ends. Official exhibitor synopsis and production description.
Chris LaMartina directed and co-wrote the film with Michael Varrati. The listed cast includes Sean Doherty, Matt Lake, Melissa LaMartina, and Trevor Wilhelms. The production runs 74 minutes, with the distillery encounter providing the setting for its New Year’s Eve story. Official exhibitor synopsis and production description.
