J Pinder’s new film,Cotton Candy Bubble Gum, is set to premiere tomorrow at SXSW, and Collider is thrilled to bring you an exclusive poster from the film. The new poster shows starNick Darnell, who will feature in the lead role in the film oppositeMorgan Jay, floating away while hanging on to a cluster of balloons as Jay’s character watches on. The poster was designed by talented artistAndrew Adam, who has worked as the poster designer on other projects in the past, such asHoney Boy(Shia LaBeouf)andLady in the Lake(Natalie Portman). In addition to Darnell and Jay,R. Marcus Taylor,JadaPaige, andJack Stonehave all been tapped for roles in the film, along withRodney J. Hobbs,Mildred Marie Langford, andJeCobi Swain.
Cotton Candy Bubble Gumis a vibrant coming-of-age comedy that tells the story of Carter (Darnell), a 21-year-old navigating the chaos and complexities of adulthood for the first time. When his new stepfather says he’s going to kick him out of the house if he can’t cover rent, he secures a promotion at his internship to buy him a bit more time at home. However, this new promotion doesn’t go as planned, and he’s sent across Los Angeles to complete an unimaginably long list of tasks. The movie takes place in one day, as Carter runs into wisecracking teens, paroled rappers, and a wildly eccentric cast of characters that all test his humor and resilience and shape the man he’s going to become. Morgan Jay has been tapped to play Carter’s hilarious best friend, Angel.
