Insecure Danny is trying to reinvent himself as a trendsetting nonconformist—but his plans are derailed by a grotesquely swollen, leaking nipple he refuses to have medically treated. As job interviews implode, dates curdle, and strangers recoil, Danny clings to the idea that his “condition” is just another sign he’s ahead of the curve.

A short, wordless horror film about the terrors lurking just beyond the veil of reality. Shot almost entirely on Super 8 and taking an experimental narrative approach to cosmic horror, Sungazer is an ultra-grainy, high contrast nightmare beamed from another dimension.
