BOOGER is a film about losing your best friend and losing control. After her best friend Izzy unexpectedly dies in a bike accident, Anna struggles to put the pieces back together. Before she even has a chance to process, Booger, Izzy’s cat, escapes the Brooklyn apartment they used to share. As she turns her already unstable life upside down looking for him, a gnarly cat bite results in terrifying and surprising physical changes. Anna must face her grief head on before it consumes her completely. Eerie and strange, BOOGER toes the line between cringe-comedy and tragedy, taking viewers on a surprising, grossly sweet journey.
