Scott Friend added, “I couldn’t be more excited to team up with equally passionate partners from Yellow Veil Pictures to bring my first feature film to the world. With To the moon, I wanted to explore the themes of love, addiction and empowerment in the context of family. This film, in all its quirky and dark humor, is close to my heart and I hope it resonates with audiences and entertains.
