#16. TRASH HUMPERS

Director: Harmony Korine 
Cast: Rachel Korine, Brian Kotzue, Travis Nicholson, Harmony Korine
Distributor: Rights Available.

Buzz: More flags. More fun. At some point during this festival I need to turn my brain off and indulge in some experimental crap. This is that film. While I’ll admit I’ve got low expectations for this one, I’m always curious to see what Korine is up to.
