HILARIOUS COMEDY THROWBACK WITH CAST OF COMEDIANS

In Theaters Only On October 25th
From filmmaker Ben Kitnick comes LET’S START A CULT, a hilarious comedy throwback starring renowned comedian Stavros Halkias (Netflix’s Fat Rascal), Wes Haney (Netflix’s The Characters: Tim Robinson), Eric Rahill (FX’s The Bear), Katy Fullan (HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm), and Daniel Simonsen (BBC’s House of Fools).

Having missed out on his cult's long awaited ritual suicide, an obnoxious loser teams up with his bogus ex-messiah to rebuild their doomsday commune. Traveling together through middle America, the constantly-bickering duo induct a military wannabe, a mentally unstable mom, and a mysterious foreign hitchhiker into their cult... but will this family of outcasts fulfill their transcendent destiny, or decide this life might be worth living after all?
