AstroNots is finally landing after playing at twenty more film festivals worldwide! Anyone who has not seen this hilarious short film at their local event or Fantasia Film Festival 2024 can now stream it through Film Shortage, beginning June 23, 2025. When I interviewed the creative team last year, producer Andrew Seaton said they want to make a feature film length version of this film. Although not much has progressed since, he confirmed writers Adam Dunn and Aaron Glenane are working hard on putting a script together.
He said, “We are excited about the prospect of taking these characters and their unique dynamic even further. What we love is that we have an odd couple road-trip movie, set in space. Something truly hilarious and unique.”
Also, I followed up on questions I asked before. In terms of other projects they are plugging away at, the crime fiction psychological thriller is still being penned. He’s enjoying the challenge since to understand this genre is quite the undertaking. He gave an outline though. This producer revealed, “It follows a tenacious young true crime podcaster who sits down to interview the man who was suspected of murdering her father almost 30 years prior. It’s about a power struggle, and asks if it’s worth opening old wounds to find closure.
“Apart from this, we are also working on another drama short about a man who has recently lost his wife and a mysterious meeting he has with someone very close to her. We are also developing a short comedy web series too, so there are lots going on. Unfortunately, as everything is in development, we’re not looking to shoot anything until next year most likely.”
That said, folks interested in other Mint Films offerings can visit their official web page to look at their past catalogue of works and also enjoy AstroNots when it makes its streaming debut.
