To The Moon: 1091 Pictures Releases Trailer & Images For Thriller
1091 Pictures have released the trailer, key art, and some images for their upcoming psychological thriller, To The Moon, directed by Scott Friend, who also wrote the film and stars in it. Also starring in the movie alongside Friend are Madeleine Morgenweck and Will Brill. The film premiered at the 2021 Nightstream film festival & will also have a one-night engagement special screening on Monday, September 19th, at Nitehawk Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York. To The Moon will be available on digital platforms on Tuesday, September 20th, in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
To The Moon follows Dennis and Mia, a young couple who find their weekend retreat becomes a hallucinatory nightmare when Dennis' estranged brother Roger arrives and begins to distort their senses. A dysfunctional family study by way of psychological, psychedelic thriller that plays out under the weight of addiction and takes its three leads to darkly funny lows, the film takes the trope of the uninvited house guest. It turns it into a metaphor for the fallout of trauma on the relationship between a young couple.
Friend and Morgenweck star as the young couple at the center of the film and also appeared together in Kevin Tran's acclaimed indie mystery thriller The Dark End of the Street, while Friend can notably be seen in Dan Sallitt's Gotham Independent Film award-winning feature Fourteen. Brill, best known for his roles in the popular TV series The OA and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, as well as the indie horror hit The Eyes of My Mother, rounds out the intimate cast of three.
To The Moon is produced by Cate Smierciak (Zia Anger's My Last Film), Everett Hendler (Satan and Adam, The Dark End of the Street), Stephanie Randall, David Formentin (The Eyes of My Mother), and Gabriel Wilson.
