Written and directed by Tyler Cornack, Mermaid plays like a
blackly comic riff on Splash as a drug-addled Florida man
discovers an injured mermaid. When others learn of his discovery he takes
desperate measures to protect his amphibian find.
The film stars Johnny Pemberton, Robert Patrick, Kevin Nealon, Kevin Dunn, Kirk Fox,
Tom Arnold
and Avery Potemri.
Mermaid premieres at the SXSW Film Festival on March
8th.

The official synopsis reads:
A Percocet-addicted ‘Florida Man’ finds a wounded mermaid at his lowest point. Fascination becomes a drug infused, one sided relationship — sending him further into decline. When word spreads about his secret, he’ll stop at nothing to protect her.
