“You couldn’t transcend without me! We need each other.” Dark Sky Films has debuted the main trailer for an indie comedy called Let’s Start A Cult, the first narrative feature from an indie director named Ben Kitnick. This has such an awkward and edgy premise that it kind of makes sense that not many would give this a look. After missing out on a long-awaited mass suicide, an obnoxious cult member (Stavros Halkias) teams up with his former leader (Wes Haney) to rebuild their group, gathering a gang of awkward outcasts determined to fulfill their transcendent destiny. It’s obviously making fun of cults and how dumb they really are, but maybe that is a bit too off-putting or strange for some to deal with? Starring comedian / podcaster Stavros Halkias, plus Wes Haney, Sarafina Vecchio, and Leslie Zang. And appearances by Ethan Suplee, CM Punk, and comedy duo Rajat Suresh & Jeremy Levick. Looks like there’s a few good jokes.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Ben Kitnick’s film Let’s Start A Cult, direct from YouTube:
Having missed out on his cult’s long awaited ritual suicide, an obnoxious loser teams up with his bogus ex-messiah to rebuild their doomsday commune. Traveling together through middle America, the constantly-bickering duo induct a military wannabe, a mentally unstable mom, and a mysterious foreign hitchhiker into their cult… but will this family of outcasts fulfill their transcendent destiny, or decide this life might be worth living after all? Let’s Start A Cult is directed by American indie filmmaker Ben Kitnick, making his first narrative feature after The Beanie Bubble documentary film previously, and a few other short films. The screenplay is written by Stavros Halkias, Wes Haney, Ben Kitnick. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Dark Sky Films will debut Kitnick’s Let’s Start A Cult in select US theaters starting on October 25th, 2024 this fall. For more info, visit their official site. Anyone want to join, too?
