Flatfish

Written, Directed, and Produced by Steven Tagle
Cinematography by Tracy Vo

How far would you go to keep a friend? When Barrett (Sean Howell) returns from his first quarter at college, his best friend, Benji (Nick Farrell), attempts to pull him back into the fantastic, insular world of their childhood where games prevail and rules are meant to be broken. The two friends transform Barrett’s new dress socks into a wolf puppet and a boy puppet and quickly adopt these personas. But when the game playing gets out of hand, the boys must use the puppets to confront their fears about life after high school, growing up, and possibly growing apart.
