SNOW ANGEL
Written by Hannah Wang
Directed by Mimi Katano
Apr 1 - 17, 2027
An angel to some. A monster to herself.
Neurotic college student Lucy has struggled to feel like a real person all her life. After a failed suicide attempt lands her in the psych ward, she discovers that she has been transformed into a jiāngshī, an undead monster from Chinese folklore that feeds off the qì of the living.
Unfortunately, no one sees her condition as anything more than symptoms of common DSM-5 disorders - no one, that is, except for her Mormon roommate, who believes that Lucy is a Latter-Day angel. To make matters worse, mysterious beings of darkness have started following her around, speaking to her with voices that are a little too familiar. Lucy must fend off the literal call of the void and her own insatiable hunger if she hopes to maintain any shred of humanity in undeath.
