As reality and dreams collide, Tina finds herself befriending the monster and forging a relationship that will change the lives of everyone around her.
The film stars Carolyn Genzkow, Sina Tkotsch, Michael Epp and American musician Kim Gordon (formerly of Sonic Youth). The short on which the film is based premiered at the 2014 Slamdance Film Festival.
