Trailer for the Blackmail Dark Comedy CRUMB CATCHER
This is the first teaser trailer for an upcoming indie dark comedy blackmail film titled Crumb Catcher. The movie is set to make its big premiere at Fantastic Fest, and the story follows a newlywed couple who is held captive in a remote lake house by a maniacally optimistic inventor and his wife who are desperate to finance his dream project with a half-baked blackmail plot.
The film is described as "a chamber piece that melds extreme anxiety with the worst salesmanship imaginable. Every single character is hilariously despicable in their own way, and each motivated by selfishness and ego."
The description reads: "Everyone has a world-changing invention in them. Enter… The Crumb Catcher! A revolutionary device that will never allow your dinner conversation to sour due to a waiter's interruptions… Or so claims the inventor, John (John Speredakos), an over-eager server who knocks at the door of newlyweds Shane (Rigo Garay) and Leah (Ella Rae Peck) in the middle of the night. Armed with his proprietary and precious design and with his surly wife Rose (Lorraine Farris) by his side, John insists that the couple hear his pitch. Things are already tense between rich girl Leah, a rising star in publishing, and aspiring writer Shane, and they're only made worse as the interruption quickly escalates in intensity."
The movie comes from first-time feature film director Chris Skotchdopole, and it looks like a wonderfully weird and kooky flick. The film is world premiering at Fantastic Fest 2023 this month, and it's also playing at the Woodstock Film Festival this fall.
