Prepare to receive cinematic bursts of terror, beaming from New England’s wicked creative minds. These short-form transmissions are pulsing with bizarre, provocative, and unsettling visions – a parade of ghastly sights and sounds – aimed at your vulnerable parts. It’s a collection brimming with door-to-door cultists, demonic dealings, and voices from beyond – metaphorical monstrosities embodying our anxiety, paranoia, and despair, amplified by today’s cultural shitshow. BUFF proudly spotlights our emerging independent visionaries, valiantly defying convention with thematically-rich storytelling, startling imagery, and steeped in the nor’eastern weirdness that is our hallmark. Brace yourself for the latest installment of Homegrown Horror!
