You may know writer/director Larry Benner’s work from his low-budget, locally filmed flicks Ether and The Nudger. His production company, Buried Pictures, is currently finishing production on his most recent film, Wilding, but they did manage to find time to whip up this “semi-official” trailer.

It’s from the private PUSH fashion party at Royal Peasantry.
