Puddysticks follows anxious video-game designer Liz and her therapeutic odyssey into a secret society of adults who play like they are little kids. Led by the alluring Sylvester Cromwell, the society compels each member to reveal their most shameful memory, with the promise of psychological healing through childlike play. But when Liz finally gains the courage to share her own darkest trauma, her world turns upside down and she must find her own way to free herself of her past.

Megan Seely’s debut feature is a joyously twisted dark comedy produced by Oscar-winner Alex Coco (Anora).
