‘The Paragon’ Exclusive Clip: Revenge Is A Cosmic Experience

the paragon

Do you feel stuck? Are you looking for a new lease on life, something to give your meager existence meaning? Why not find a mentor and tap into your psychic potential like Dutch does in the new indie horror-comedy The Paragon? Written and directed by Michael Duignan, this charming piece of mumblegore is about revenge, a mythical stone, and ripping apart time and space.

Read the full synopsis below:

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. Everything converges towards the singularity in Michael Duignan’s feature debut, a hilarious rift in space-time.

In our exclusive clip, Dutch begins to tap into his psychic potential with the help of Lyra…

Duignan didn’t just write and director The Paragon. He also lensed the film and produced it with Lissy Turner. This film is another testament to the power of indie horror filmmaking and the many hats we wear to get these labors of love made.

Benedict Wall, Florence Noble, Jessica Grace Smith, Michelle Ang, Shadon Meredith, Jonny Brugh, Cameron Rhodes, Chloe White, and Lucky Lee Morton star in the film.

The Paragon comes to theaters and digital on September 6, 2024.
