Trapped: Mind-Altering Shorts
Trapped is back for another dose of staggering filmic madness! Microdose eight future cult classics featuring lightyears-spanning flatulence, mystical MLMs, a society of enslaved hamsters, and all manner of uncharted mental pathologies. Creepy dreamers and fame-seekers converge in a maelstrom of dually uproarious and dark delusions. Seek comfort in discomfort and stay open to all possibilities, and maybe you'll make it out in one headspace.
