The Paragon – Watch the trailer for the new indie sci-fi comedy

Do you want to see the unseen? Dutch (Benedict Wall) may look like just another defeated and washed-up loser, but behind his pissed-off exterior lurks a hyperdimensional being of exceptional promise. His wife left him, his career as a tennis coach is floundering, and he would give anything to find the driver of the silver Toyota Corolla who hit him and drove off a year ago–the event that initiated Dutch’s downward spiral. Enter Lyra (Florence Noble), a witchy disciplinarian who offers to help Dutch unleash his latent psychic powers and break free from the illusion of linear time. After a crash course in telelocation and astral projection, the unlikely psionic prodigy is ready for his quest of cosmic revenge, but Lyra has other plans: she needs Dutch’s help to find a mysterious crystal known as the Paragon before it falls into the hands of her evil brother Haxan (Jonny Brugh) and his mind slaves.

Written and directed by Michael Duignan, the film stars Benedict Wall, Florence Noble, Jessica Grace Smith, Michelle Ang, Shadon Meredith, Jonny Brugh, Cameron Rhodes, Chloe White, and Lucky Lee Morton.

The Paragon is in US cinemas and On Digital from 6th September. Opening at select Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago (Music Box Theatre), Denver, Austin and more.
