Buzzard turned out to be one of my favorite indies of last year, and director Joel Potrykus is back in 2016 with his next feature, The Alchemist Cookbook, and Oscilloscope has released a new trailer for it this week. The film stars Ty Hickson (Gimme The Loot) as a hermit living in the forest attempting to study alchemy, but evoking a dark presence in the process.
The Alchemist Cookbook opens in limited release and on VOD via Bit Torrent October 7th.
Young outcast Sean has isolated himself in a trailer in the woods, setting out on alchemic pursuits, with his cat Kaspar as his sole companion. Filled with disdain for authority, he’s fled the daily grind and holed up in the wilderness, escaping a society that has no place for him. But when he turns from chemistry to black magic to crack nature’s secret, things go awry and he awakens something far more sinister and dangerous. From the mind of acclaimed American filmmaker Joel Potrykus (BUZZARD, APE), THE ALCHEMIST COOKBOOK is an Official Selection of the 2016 South by Southwest Film Festival.
