Date Night Look

A gritty and unsettling tale about a young woman’s date with a john that takes a surreal turn as her deeply strange motives become more clear.
Starring Faith Porter and Timothy Goodwin, “Date Night Look” is also primarily a teaser and tone film for the coming-of-age body horror and narrative feature film project the Six Shorts team developed during lockdown about “grinders,” youths in America’s sacrifice zones experimenting with embeddable tech via gruesome self-surgery and DIY biohacking in their moms’ basements. The feature length film is currently in pre-production.
