SHORTS PROGRAM with films by our friends Andrea Wolanin and Porcelain Dalya!
Tickets: $11
*Individual ticket sales will open later this week*
*Tickets are currently available via bit.ly/KickstartBUFF17
The spirit of New England resilience is demonstrated in its homespun cinema; consequently, our industrious filmmakers offer a diverse array of work in the horror genre. Homegrown Horror spotlights their voices by sharing a sample of the unique and sinister stories lurking beneath the surface of this seemingly idyllic place.
A psychopath in Raynham, Massachusetts is frustrated by modern communication (The Horrors of Auto-Correct); in Portland, Maine, an urban legend hungers for a vulnerable part of a child’s body (Tickle). These are just small glimpses of the ghastly horrors that permeate picturesque New England. Once again, BUFF is thrilled to present a medley of terror served up with genuine love for all that is creepy, gruesome, and disturbing!

On December 31st, at 11:58:07 PM Coordinated Universal Time, Earth will have its atmosphere ripped to shreds by the largest directed coronal mass ejection in the history of the galaxy. These forces will shatter the protective layer on the once stable, life-sustaining planet in an instant. Everything we know will become nothing. Maybe it already has.
After failing in NYC, Alice grabs her mixtapes and returns to her desolate, rural hometown and a finds job at the MAGNETOSTATIC SYSTEMS office located hundreds of feet underground concealed beneath a sheep farm.
Alice must piece together her memories, her dreams, and the space-time continuum itself to find out why she is so essential to the preservation of all life on Earth.
