Booger

description

After her dead friend’s cat runs away, Anna grows desperate to find him, ignoring the fact that her life (and body) are totally falling apart. An eerie and strange cringe-comedy.

When her best friend Izzy unexpectedly dies in a bike accident, Anna (Grace Glowicki, STRAWBERRY MANSION) struggles to put the pieces back together. Before she even has a chance to process, Booger, Izzy’s cat, escapes the Brooklyn apartment they used to share. As she turns her already unstable life upside down looking for him, a gnarly cat bite results in terrifying and surprising physical changes. Anna must face her grief head on before it consumes her completely. BOOGER is a film about losing your best friend and losing control, taking viewers on a surprising, grossly sweet journey.
