COTTON CANDY BUBBLE GUM (2026). Sweet. Wild. Unstoppable.

From the SXSW Film & TV Festival 2025 comes one of the most joyful and unexpected debuts of the year. Cotton Candy Bubble Gum follows a young man whose outsized personality and unshakeable optimism collide with a world that wasn't built for him — and somehow, he floats above it all. Directed and written by J Pinder, starring Nick Darnell and Morgan Jay, this is indie filmmaking at its most alive. Light on the surface, surprisingly deep underneath. A vault piece that earns its place next to anything you've ever loved.
