Thank you @genreblast !

Back for another year and for the first time with a script that was recognized at last year’s show— returning with the finished film to screen. ☺️

This one won’t be submitted to or receive more than a handful of screenings— as I want to mainly hold it for the finished anthology feature… but I’m glad to share it with the Genreblast family yet again.
