SUPER DARK TIMES Gets New Trailer Ahead of US Release

Anyone lucky enough to have caught Kevin Philips' debut feature at any of its film festival appearances can attest to what a phenomenal piece of work it is. A tragic tale centered on the relationship between two best friends and the terrible accident that drives a wedge between them, Super Dark Times offers up a chilling portrait of adolescence. 

Here's the official synopsis and new trailer:

Synopsis: A harrowing but meticulously observed look at teenage lives in the era prior to the Columbine High School massacre, Super Dark Times marks the feature debut of gifted director Kevin Phillips, whose critically acclaimed 2015 short film "Too Cool For School" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

Zach (Owen Campbell) and Josh (Charlie Tahan) are best friends growing up in a leafy Upstate New York suburb in the 1990s, where teenage life revolves around hanging out, looking for kicks, navigating first love and vying for popularity. When a traumatic incident drives a wedge between the previously inseparable pair, their youthful innocence abruptly vanishes.

Each young man processes the tragedy in his own way, until circumstances grow increasingly complex and spiral into violence. Phillips dives headlong into the confusion of teenage life, creating evocative atmosphere out of the murky boundaries between adolescence and adulthood, courage and fear, and good and evil.

Super Dark Times will be released in New York, Los Angeles and additional markets on September 29, and on digital and on-demand on October 3.
