This colorful, 80s-drenched film follows a gay working actor, Michael, who has nearly reached his wit’s end with the acting industry. After recently losing what would be his “big break,” he visits a horror fan convention to take his mind off 20 years of hardship. Little does he know, the convention isn’t exactly a safe space for aspiring actors either…and a couple snide comments from some filmmaker panelists might just make him snap.

    Director Biography - Michelle Iannantuono is an award winning filmmaker and online content creator, most primarily known for the found footage horror film Livescream, and her queer transformative fan films in the Detroit Become Human universe. She is also the author of Paradisa (Falstaff Books, '20), a contemporary fantasy about world mythology. Her work leans in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror directions, because before switching careers to follow her passion, she was an industrial chemist (which is equal parts scientific and horrifying). And when it comes to topic, her work is usually into video games, queer stories, or both. When she’s not behind the camera or behind the pen, she’s probably gaming, fangirling something, or politely asking Cthulhu to eat her chaos.
