1091 Pictures has released the new trailer for To the Moon, the directorial debut from actor-turned-director Scott Friend. It comes to digital platforms on September 20, 2022 in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It’ll also have a one-night engagement special screening on Monday, September 19th at Nitehawk Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York.
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.
The film is described as,
“a dysfunctional family study by way of psychological, psychedelic thriller that plays out under the weight of addiction [that] takes its three leads to darkly funny lows. [To The Moon] takes the trope of the uninvited house guest and turns it into a metaphor for the fallout of trauma on the relationship between a young couple.

Scott Friend and Madeleine Morgenweck star as the young couple at the center of the film. Will Brill, best known for his roles in the popular TV series The OA, as well as the indie horror hit The Eyes of My Mother, rounds out the intimate cast of three.
