Synopsis

Compression

Hazel (Emily Jean Durchholz) is an intense agoraphobe who runs a true crime podcast about cases involving missing women. When her ill-planned staycation goes awry in the middle of a particularly rough drug trip that spawns nightmare fuel, she's forced to face her fears, confront her trauma, and take the not-so-metaphorical steps towards feeling alive again in this surreal horror-drama.

The Skin I Live In

A brilliant plastic surgeon creates a synthetic skin that withstands any kind of damage. His guinea pig: a mysterious and volatile woman who holds the key to his obsession.
