We say things are funny because they are true. And that’s what this package of films have to offer: unmitigated, unadulterated, immutable truth. Truth so hard that you may burst a brain vessel with uncontrollable laughter. Featuring local and national talent, the shorts here range from the goofy to surreal, from tender to awkward, and from cute to severely messed up. The universal truths contained herein may be damaging to your mental state. BUFF is not responsible for the damage to your sanity that may result from these film’s commitment to unflinching veracity. Wake up, sheeple.
– Kevin Monahan
