Trailer for mind-bending nightmare psychological thriller 'To the Moon'

"The road to recovery is not... it's not a solo journey." "We need to be at peace within ourselves…" 1091 Pictures has revealed an official trailer for a psychedelic/psychological thriller titled To the Moon, from actor/filmmaker Scott Friend realizing his debut achievement. This premiered at a few film festivals last year and is set to premiere later this year. Struggling drug addict and TV actor Dennis retreats to his secluded family home with his wife Mia in a last-ditch effort to detox and save their marriage. Their isolation is disrupted when Dennis' estranged brother Roger unexpectedly arrives in the middle of their first night, pushing the couple's commitment to each other to the limit as Roger infiltrates their relationship. As Dennis' nightmares and actions become more disturbing, they are tasked with distinguishing reality from hallucination. The small cast includes Scott Friend, Madeleine Morgenweck and Will Brill. It really does look quite weird and trippy, with lots of teasing in this trailer, but luckily it doesn't show the whole movie this time around.

Here is the official trailer (+ poster) for To the Moon by Scott Friend, direct from YouTube:

The film 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 sense of reality. A dysfunctional family study by way of a psychological, psychedelic thriller that plays out under the weight of addiction and brings its three leads to dark and funny lows, the film takes the trope of the uninvited guest and turns it into a a metaphor for the fallout of trauma on the relationship between a young couple. To the Moon is written and directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Scott Friend, who makes his directorial debut with this project. Produced by David Formentin, Everett Hendler, Stephanie Randall, Cate Smierciak, Gabriel Wilson. This originally premiered at the 2021 Nightstream Film Festival last year. 1091 Pictures will debut To the Moon in select US theaters + on VOD later this year - stay tuned for an exact date.
