New Trailer – Dystopian Dark Comedy ‘Daddy’ Arrives on Blu-ray February 25 with Bonus Features

‘Daddy’ – A Futuristic Sci-Fi Comedy

In this innovative blend of sci-fi and comedy, we journey into a world where parenthood is controlled by the government. Four potential fathers embark on a retreat to demonstrate their readiness for this role, but they unexpectedly find themselves stranded in the remote California mountains with no guidance. As days pass and isolation sets in, these men start questioning whether they are truly ready to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood.

The film is helmed by Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman, featuring Yuriy Sardarov, Jacqueline Toboni, Pomme Koch, and Britt Baron in lead roles. Sardarov, well-known for his work on ‘Chicago Fire’, portrays Sebastian, a character grappling with keeping order amidst turmoil. This role caught his interest because of its intriguing elements of mystery and paranoia.

Yuriy Sardarov shared that he decided to be part of the show ‘Daddy’ due to his longstanding relationship with its creators, Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman, who he met during college. Initially, when he read the script, he wasn’t entirely clear about the project’s overall vision, but the sense of enigma it presented sparked his interest.

Initially, he didn’t quite understand it, but the characters and their narratives were captivating enough for him to have faith in the directors’ artistic vision. In the end, he found himself attracted by the intrigue and thrill of collaborating on a distinctive project with individuals he trusted.

As a dedicated cinephile, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Neal and Jono, the creative minds behind this project, since our college days. They’ve been quietly working on this masterpiece for quite some time now. During the challenging times of the pandemic, we engaged in script readings and brainstorming sessions. To be completely honest, when I first laid eyes on the script, it left me slightly baffled.

What intrigued me about it was that I couldn’t quite grasp what they were intending, and yet, the allure of the enigma kept pulling me in. Their characters and character arcs were clear to me, but their vision eluded me. However, I had faith in their abilities as creators. Essentially, I expressed, “I wish to embark on this adventure with you, to unravel the secrets it holds.” The riddle itself, if you will, was what needed to be spoken about.
