“I guess I don’t understand why the customer would want to sweep up their own crumbs?” Good question. Glass Eye Pictures has revealed a teaser trailer for an indie dark comedy called Crumb Catcher, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Chris Skotchdopole. This is premiering at Fantastic Fest down in Austin, Texas this week, with no official release date set yet – only more festivals. A newlywed couple is held captive in a remote lake house by a maniacally optimistic inventor and his sour wife who are desperate to finance his dream project with a half-baked blackmail plot. Fantastic Fest describe it 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.” Starring Rigo Garay, Ella Rae Peck, John Speredakos, Lorraine Farris, and Rebecca Watson. Keep an eye out for this sneaky film.
Here’s the first look teaser trailer (+ poster) for Chris Skotchdopole’s Crumb Catcher, from YouTube:
Full description via Fantastic Fest: “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.”
Crumb Catcher is directed by indie filmmaker Chris Skotchdopole, making his feature directorial debut after numerous other short films previously. The screenplay is also written by Skotchdopole, from a story by Skotchdopole and Larry Fessenden & Rigo Garay. It’s produced by Brian Devine, Larry Fessenden, Chadd Harbold, Chris Skotchdopole, James W. Skotchdopole, Bonnie Timmermann. The film is world premiering at Fantastic Fest 2023 this month, and it’s also playing at the Woodstock Film Festival this fall. No release dates have been set yet – stay tuned for more news & updates. First impression? Who wants to watch this?
