A short film made for Anti-Drug day. Won best experimental short at the Yale-In-Hollywood film festival in 2022.
"Fresh, inventive and hilarious. This film bursts from the screen with the whacked out logic of a drug-fueled haze and yet manages to tackle issues of marginalization and exclusion thanks to the filmmaker's masterful execution and technical skill. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this trip" ~ David Henry Hwang
