Mike Pinkney and Michael Reich, wowed Fantasia audiences with their electric feature collaboration SHE’S ALLERGIC TO CATS in 2016. In PUFF BEFORE DYING, a vapour-wave PSA featuring marionettes and bisexual lighting, three teen girls are tempted by drugs and partying, and suffer the deadly consequences of their uncontrolled impulses. This retro throwback will satisfy gorehounds, nostalgia junkies, puppet enthusiasts and everyone in between. – Justine Smith
