VIEW TRAILER (48mbs in a pop-up window)

Cupcake is a live-action, absurd comedy in which Candi, an unlikely hero, is torn between her desire for cupcakes and the basic human need to be loved. She attempts a change but it threatens to unhinge her sanity. Candi's struggle to balance comfort with self-empowerment is universal and sets the stage for director Sean McPhillips' first 35mm short film.
