First time director Gem Deger explodes on the film scene with Playdurizm, a wildly colorful, dangerously sexy and dark-edged fantasy/horror tale about a young man and the bizarre world he wakes up inside.
Demir (played by writer-director Deger) suddenly wakes up with no memory of the past and in an unfamiliar apartment. Surrounded by balloons and an oinking pig, he scurries his way out only to be stopped by the hunky and handsome Andrew (Austin Chunn) who assures the teen that he actually lives there, with the hunk, his girlfriend and their pet pig.
As he uncomfortably settles into this strange new reality, Demir starts quietly longing for his alluring heterosexual roommate. He gets his chance when Andrew’s girlfriend Drew (Issy Stewart) overdoses and they stash her body under the sofa. Demir now does everything he can to be possessed by this man, all the while ignoring the violent clues of how he got there.
An intoxicating blend of fantasy, violence, passion and control, Playdurizm is a truly unique and often shocking film debut. Watch the trailer below and click here to order your copy. The film will be available on DVD and Blu-ray starting this week!
