Mary Dauterman's short film, WAKEY WAKEY took Fantasia by storm when it internationally premiered in the Born of Woman showcase in 2019. She's now back with her feature debut BOOGER, a dark comedy about lost cats, grief, and millennial despair. Anna's (Grace Glowicki) best friend Izzy just died, and her landlord won't stop calling about rent. As her life falls apart, she's bitten by Izzy's cat Booger and starts to get stranger every day: she's hungry for canned fish, she keeps swallowing her hair, and her predator instincts are out of control.
