“By coming here, you found yourself part of something bigger…” Yellow Veil Pictures has unveiled their main official trailer an extra funky, super wacky, kinky fun indie film called Touch Me, made by Addison Heimann as his second feature film after Hypochondriac a few years back. Touch Me first premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival then it also stopped by SXSW, Overlook, Frameline, Neuchâtel, Melborune, Brooklyn Horror, and other festivals throughout the year – now ready for its final release this spring. It’s a wacky indie comedy, sex comedy, narcissism drama, cult thriller all rolled into one. Two codependent best friends become addicted to the heroin-like touch of an alien narcissist who may or may not be trying to take over the world. Starring Olivia Taylor Dudley, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jordan Gavaris, Marlene Forte, and Paget Brewster. Reviews are mostly pretty good, stating it’s “a singular film of trauma and addiction that delivers laughs, horrors, and tentacled alien sex.” Yep – it gets really weird & wild. I’ve been waiting for them to finally release this a whole year after the Sundance premiere – it’s destined to become a cult classic.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Addison Heimann’s indie comedy Touch Me, direct from YouTube:
A wacky, wild, sensual homage to Japanese exploitation films, telling the story of two cringe millennials, Joey & Craig, who do everything in their power to do absolutely nothing. Of course they have capital T childhood trauma, but so does everyone, so like, judge them. Seriously, JUDGE THEM. One regular day, Joey’s super hot alien ex, Brian, comes back into town begging for her to forgive him and come back to his desert mansion for the weekend. With nothing better to do (and an unfortunate sewer explosion in Craig’s house), the two trepidatiously accept. Also the fact that Brian’s slimy sexual tentacle appendage removes anxiety & depression maybe helps solidify the decision. But at the house, under Brian’s veneer of healing is a sinister plot filled with murder, mayhem & blood. Then again, maybe they can all get along in the most glorious throuple you’ve ever seen. Touch Me is a psychosexual horror-comedy film with 100% old-school practical effects, about the nature of co-dependent friendships and how far we’ll go for a slice of happiness.
Touch Me is written and directed by indie genre filmmaker Addison Heimann, making his second feature film after directing Hypochondriac previously, and writing / producing many other short films. Produced by Addison Heimann, John Humber, David Lawson Jr. This initially premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival last year in the Midnight section. Yellow Veil debuts Heimann’s Touch Me film in select US theaters on March 20th, 2026, then on VOD starting April 2nd, 2026 this spring. Who’s interested in watching?
