BUNNY BOI and the SUBMISSION | SYNOPSIS: Glum Henry, keeper of bunnies, heads out to a job interview at a nondescript office building. He’s not expecting to encounter Brit, a neon-pink receptionist, equal parts hilarious and terrifying, who sends Henry’s anxiety soaring. And he’s definitely not ready to meet his interviewer, Heather, a mysterious child-spirit in a grown-ass human form, who knows entirely too much about Henry’s life -- even the secrets he fights desperately to keep hidden from himself. Heather’s words manifest strange memories and visions inside her office. After a mind-bending emotional rollercoaster of an interview, Henry leaves the building befuddled. His dead car battery leads him to a bus stop, where a man with a small dog convinces him (by way of childish humor) that the bus may never come, and given the beauty of the day, he should just walk instead. Henry complies, and stumbles headlong into everything he’s ever wanted... Years later, Heather reappears in the eyes of his three-year-old daughter, Zelda.
