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

The new sci-fi dark comedy ‘Daddy’ is set in a dystopian world where the government decides who can become a father. Four men attend a retreat to prove they’re ready for parenthood but find themselves isolated in the California mountains without guidance. As the isolation takes its toll, they question if they’re prepared for fatherhood.
Directed by Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman, the film stars Yuriy Sardarov, Jacqueline Toboni, Pomme Koch, and Britt Baron. Sardarov, known from ‘Chicago Fire,’ plays Sebastian, a character who struggles to maintain control amid the chaos, a role he found fascinating due to its mystery and paranoia.
‘Daddy’ will be available on Blu-ray and DVD starting February 25, released by Anchor Bay. The home release includes several special features, such as audio commentary from the film’s writers, directors, and actors Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman, giving insights into the filmmaking process.
It also features an extended or alternate version of a dance scene, a reel showcasing improvisation during filming, and two episodes (1 and 5) from the web series C.U.P.S. as bonus content. These extras provide fans with a deeper look into the movie and its creative development.

Yuriy Sardarov explained that he joined ‘Daddy’ because of his trust in the creators, Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman, whom he has known since college. He admitted that when he first read the script, he didn’t fully understand the vision of the project, but that sense of mystery intrigued him.
Despite not fully grasping the concept at first, he found the characters and their story arcs compelling and decided to trust the directors’ creative process. Ultimately, he was drawn to the challenge and excitement of working on something unique with people he believed in.
Yuriy Sardarov: I’ve known Neal and Jono, the directors and writers, since college, and they told me that they were working on this project for a while. During Covid, we were doing readings and stuff. I’m not going to lie, when I first read it, I didn’t really get it.
I didn’t understand what they were trying to do, and that’s what drew me towards it—sort of the mystery of it. I understood the characters, I could see the arcs of the characters, but I didn’t really get their vision, but I trusted them as creators. I said, “I’d love to be on this journey with you.” The mystery, really, to speak.
