Directed by Stephen Steelman
Computer programmer Donald (Ian Gary) is a man on a deadline, grappling with sanity…and a roommate that spends a little too much time with his blender. When Donald’s cohabitant Mickey (Ekon Soong) and his girlfriend, Jessica (Tatiana Paris), go overboard with their smoothie-making as part of their prep for Burning Man, Donald is pushed to the brink.
