Behind the scenes photos from Head
Directed by Keith Ruggiero, Head will play at The Wicked Realm Film Festival 4. Head is a darkly comic coming-of-age tale about Clarence, a lonely guy with a mysterious forehead growth that squirts green slime whenever he gets emotional—think stress, excitement, or mild eye contact. Often misunderstood and with only his doting mother for company, Clarence’s luck changes when he meets a shy, soft-spoken girl who shares his… oozy condition. It’s awkward, gross, and kind of beautiful—just like finding Love.
