Steven Soderbergh-Backed Indie Comedy ‘Sour Party’ Trailer Promises a Wild Ride Through Chaos and Friendship

Starboard Entertainment has unveiled the official trailer for the upcoming indie comedy Sour Party, a quirky and chaotic story about friendship, desperation, and the hilarious lengths people go to fix their biggest problems. The film marks the feature directorial debut of “The Drextons” — Amanda Drexton and Michael A. Drexton — who are bringing their unique comedic style to the big screen.

The film follows Gwen and James, two broke and struggling thirty-somethings who find themselves on an unusual mission: collecting money from a group of unpredictable characters from their past so they can arrive at Gwen’s sister’s baby shower with the perfect gift. What begins as a simple attempt to save face quickly turns into a messy adventure filled with failed artists, questionable personalities, and plenty of unexpected situations.

Presented by acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, Sour Party features an ensemble cast including Samantha Westervelt, Amanda Drexton, Corey Feldman, Douglas Bennett, and Reggie Watts. The film combines offbeat humor with a heartfelt look at friendships, personal failures, and the strange challenges of navigating adulthood.

Written and directed by Amanda Drexton and Michael A. Drexton, the screenplay is based on a story developed by The Drextons and Samantha Westervelt. After years of creating short films, the duo steps into feature filmmaking with a comedy that aims to bring a fresh and unconventional voice to the indie movie scene.

With its eccentric characters, sharp humor, and unpredictable storyline, Sour Party is shaping up to be a fun addition to the indie comedy lineup. The film is scheduled to arrive on July 24, 2026, offering audiences a refreshing break from traditional comedy formulas.
