Kombucha is a story about a musician trapped in an office job he couldn't care less about. Luke dreams of being on stage while doing B2B marketing work that feels completely meaningless. His coworkers all sip a red kombucha beverage and seem to have found purpose in this place. When his job seems threatened, and his future as a musician seems bleak, Luke decides to give the free kombucha a try. A feeling of commitment, focus, and belonging washes over Luke as he churns through creating a pitch deck for an upcoming client meeting. Unfortunately, the kombucha has a series of nasty side effects that grow and writhe inside of Luke. Kombucha is a short film that gives new meaning to being consumed by your work.

Trapped in a fluorescent-lit cubicle farm, an aspiring musician thinks the free break room kombucha is a perk - until it begins to change him. What starts with suspicious smiles and team-building ends in a bile-drenched metamorphosis.

The end cycle of the birthed forehead.
