The trailer’s high energy cuts between dolled up, pre-date Darren and Darren, the creative musician in her element, seem reflective of the multidimensional interiority of the woman at the heart of the film. It seems that elements of Darren’s musical experimentation are also integrated into the film through otherworldly sequences in which black fluids teem from Darren’s mouth and she emerges out of a swiveling car like a prom queen from the future. Sugar Daddy’s trailer heavily features experimental techno-adjacent sounds, ostensibly offering snippets of the music Darren makes. The Sugar Babies is a 2007 feature-length documentary film about exploitation in the sugar plantations of the Dominican Republic.The film, narrated by Edwidge Danticat, explores how the descendants of African slaves, brought over from Haiti, live and work in unfair conditions akin to 'modern day slavery. Unlike Almost Famous or A Star is Born, Sugar Daddy centralizes the underrepresented era before an artist’s dream is realized an era marked by a multitude of part-time jobs, financial anxiety and the strain for artistic integrity. The film’s not grounded in Darren’s dabbling in the dating-for-money world, but rather in its focus upon the unsexy preludes striving artists experience.
