"We find out by mistake when a zombie gets cannabis in their system they no longer wants to rip your face off. Instead they indulges in snacks and walk around aimlessly. But once they starts to come down subconsciously they began to realizes it actually alleviated the pain for flesh. The only problem is now they want more cannabis."

A hilariously action packed adult educational take on the ever changing industry.

 Actress, author and ghost-tour guide

She'll share first-hand paranormal experiences and discuss the lasting power of ghost stories on our collective consciousness. 
The Butterfly Queen
Special Screening
On the last two days of April we'll be making a special appearance at the Vermont Sci-Fi & Fantasy Expo. Come on by the Champlain Valley Fairgrounds for cool swag, a special screening and unrivaled one-on-one talks with the filmmakers.

The Butterfly Queen is the hangover after the coming-of-age story.  Casey (a sheep farmer/cartoonist) and Robin (basically a vagabond) are lost in a magical forest, struggling to find Casey’s sketchbook so they can get the hell back home. Unfortunately, The Butterfly Queen wants the sketchbook too, and A) she’s clever, B) she’s desperate and C) she makes the rules. It’s a bit punk, a lot queer and it will probably make you think about who your best friend really is. We shot the whole thing around Ryegate, VT, pop. 1,165.
