Camp trash goes GenZ in the work of the twenty-seven-year-old trans artist, musician and filmmaker Dylan Mars Greenberg. Her previous credits include work for Adult Swim or an acting part in Troma’s Shakespeare's Sh*tstorm. In her own work, the love for cult trash films and analog media is mixed with the ADHD sketchiness and eager absurdity of online media. Her feature-length magnum opus will pleasantly tickle the eyeballs and send heads spinning.

After the tragic death of their parents, two sisters (Summer Greenberg and Amanda Flowers) are torn apart and sent to opposite coasts by a malevolent entity. One sister cannot remember who she is, and the other cannot grasp the fateful task that lies ahead of her. While fighting to make their way back to each other, the sisters encounter many strange characters that could either help them or destroy them.

Described as a fantasy with elements of horror, comedy, action, surrealism and martial arts, the film abounds with a sometimes charming and other times outright random DIY vibe and an enthusiastic attitude. Do not expect anything in line of a traditional narrative or logic, because here anything can happen at any time. Also bridging the (purely theoretical) gap between traditional and new trash is the enormous cast. Greenberg gathered some of her regulars in Amanda Flowers (Shakespeare's Sh*tstorm), Jurgen Azazel Munster (Werewolf Bitches from Outer Space), and Matthew Silver (Glamarus), and joined them with jaw-dropping new faces, including Cherie Currie of The Runaways, an unrecognizable Whitney Moore (Birdemic), Lynn Lowry (Shivers), Kansas and Parker Bowling (Cuddly Toys), rock and roll legend Alan Merrill, Patti Harrison (Together Together), and Gender Outlaw author Kate Bornstein, with narration by Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs).
