LOGLINE: Bonnie is an American on holiday in Ireland to cope with her husband’s recent suicide. She visits a pub and keeps to herself, but is confronted by the pub-owner’s younger sister, who’s intent on finding out why she’s so somber. All the while, two patrons flirt across the bar and the pub owner wrestles with the alleged suicide of a local beloved disabled boy.

SYNOPSIS: Justin Andrew Davis writes, directs, and stars in his own short film about a man consumed by an eating disorder, manifested as a slick, toxic companion (Ryan Wesen) who lingers on his every move. Over the course of 24 hours, he nearly sabotages his standing at his job and his relationship with his romantic partner (Peyton Michelle Edwards), all while pushing his body to dangerous extremes, giving us a look into how actions motivated by poor self-image can threaten every aspect of a person’s life.
