In the good-hearted and original comedy Puddysticks, Liz (Megan Seely) is a puddle of anxiety. She is a workaholic game developer for an enterprise whose company culture, despite its mission statement, could not be more anti-fun.
Liz stumbles on a self-help group, led by the ever blissed-out Sylvester (Dan Bakkedahl of Veep, Sword of Trust), where each participant must reveal their innermost secret. It’s cultlike and filled with psychobabble, but it seems to work for Megan and the others. And then Megan learns someone else’s secret…
Puddysticks is a scathing satire of tech workplace culture and the self-help movement, somehow without a hint of meanness.
Puddysticks is written and directed by Megan Seely (who also stars) in her first feature. Cinequest hosts the world premiere of Puddysticks.
