''An unashamedly odd film which has both intelligence and heart'' - Eye for Film

“Puddysticks is a marvel."

"Part mystery, part comedy, part paranoid thriller, and filled with a massive heart – Puddysticks is deeply original." - In Their Own League

PUDDYSTICKS is a joyously twisted dark comedy produced by Alex Coco (Palme d'Or winner ANORA, A24’s RED ROCKET) and Olympian Alexi Pappas, starring Mamoudou Athie (KINDS OF KINDNESS, JURASSIC WORLD), Dan Bakkedahl (VEEP), Danny Deferrari (SHIVA BABY), and writer/director Megan Seely.

The film follows anxious videogame designer Liz and her therapeutic odyssey into a secret society of adults who play like they are little kids. Led by the alluring Sylvester Cromwell, the society compels each member to reveal their most shameful memory, with the promise of psychological healing through childlike play. But when Liz finally gains the courage to share her own darkest trauma, her world turns upside down and she must find her own way to free herself of her past.
