“Get Ready for Laughter: ‘Darla in Space’ Launches with a New Trailer Before NYC Premiere”

If you’re into quirky comedies infused with a hint of sci-fi, Darla in Space could be your next favorite. The film’s new trailer, collaboratively written and directed by Eric Laplante and Susie Moon, showcases a delightful blend of the bizarre and the humorous. This indie sci-fi comedy makes its mark with a distinct and unconventional storyline that’s sure to catch attention.

The story revolves around Darla Peterson, portrayed by Alex E. Harris, who is struggling to clear a hefty $349,000 tax debt from her unique custom Kitty Kaskets business. As her situation grows bleak, she encounters a curious sentient kombucha scoby named Mother at her side job cleaning a warehouse. This isn’t just any scoby; Mother can provide incredible orgasms, prompting Darla to cash in on this opportunity. However, Mother has her own agenda—she wants to travel to space with Darla’s assistance.

The film features a talented cast, including Constance Shulman, Thomas Jay Ryan, and Jenn Lyon, adding their own eccentricities to the story. Its peculiar concept and witty humor make it appeal to fans of indie comedies reminiscent of films like Sorry to Bother You and The Lobster.

Having already screened at both the Slamdance Film Festival and the Indianapolis International Film Festival, Darla in Space is set for a limited theatrical release at Quad Cinema in New York City on September 27, 2024. For viewers outside NYC, it will be available on VOD and DVD by October 25, 2024.

With its combination of sci-fi quirkiness, sharp wit, and a unique narrative, Darla in Space promises to be an unexpected and enjoyable cinematic experience.
