Trip to the Edge (2026)
After his friend pressures him into eating mushroom-laced chocolate during a game of chess, a young guy finds himself alone, unprepared for the trip that’s about to follow – a full-on plunge into the deep end. As the night unfolds, his senses start bending, time stretches, and his grip on reality loosens. Hallucinations swirl. Paranoia creeps in. The outside world? Way too loud. His safe space? A plush sloth and a solo dance party. Trip to the Edge is a wild, trippy ride – chaotic and gut-punch existential. It’s about what happens when you go looking for escape and find yourself at the edge.
