Three high school graduates move into their first apartment together only to find that the toilet is, in fact, a magical gateway to another world where they uncover a plot to annihilate the universe perpetrated by a wayward teenager convinced that if there is a God, he's been long since abandoned by Him.

Our very first feature also stands as our most ambitious project to date. Made on literally nothing, this 70 minute adventure took over 8 months to shoot (most of which was done without a script), half that amount of time to edit and featured our first collaboration ever with a composer (Eric Rodis came onto the project towards the very end)... and all this before any of the cast and crew graduated high school.
