“You still have a terrible team and no coach.” Indican Pictures has debuted their trailer for a humorous sports comedy titled Lucky Strikes, an indie film creation made by Indigenous filmmaker Darcy Waite. This first premiered at the 2024 Whistler Film Festival a few years back and is only now being released direct to VOD / Blu-ray. The movie is the story of an underdog bowler as he prepares for a major last-shot tournament. Adam Cardinal Jr, a washed-up bowler, fights to buy his overdue dad’s alley. With a rival attempting to sabotage him, Adam and best friend Benny plot wild schemes to drum up the cash, leading to a high-stakes bowling showdown. As usual in bowling films. Starring Meegwun Fairbrother as Adam, Victoria Gwendoline (aka Victoria Turko) as Benny, with Gabriel Daniels, Stephanie Sy, Star Slade, Carolina Campos, & Curtis Howson. While Kingpin remains the gold standard for bowling comedies, there was also another indie bowling comedy that no one saw a few years ago titled The Gutter with Shameik Moore. Go Adam go.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Darcy Waite’s comedy Lucky Strikes, direct from YouTube:
Adam (starring Meegwun Fairbrother), a washed-up bowler, along with his best friend Benny (Victoria Gwendoline) fight to save his overdue father’s legacy and the local bowling alley from the wrecking ball. With his arch-nemesis Sarah out to sabotage him, Adam and Benny create wild schemes in various attempts to raise money that all lead to a high-stakes showdown in the national bowling championship! Lucky Strikes is written and directed by Indigenous filmmaker Darcy Waite, making his feature directorial debut after many tiny films and other projects. Produced by Madison Thomas & Tyson Caron. This initially premiered at the 2024 Whistler Film Festival a few years ago. Indican Pictures will finally release Darcy Waite’s Lucky Strikes comedy film direct-to-VOD starting on September 22nd, 2026 this year. Anyone want to watch?
