Los Angeles on the cusp of the 2028 Summer Olympics: a series of devastating livestock viruses have wiped out meat and poultry production across the nation, leaving genetically-modified cockroaches the most viable alternative. Meanwhile, a cockroach infestation of biblical proportions overwhelms the city, triggering a rash of eminent domain abuses. Two young grifters dream up their next big score in a paranoid landscape perpetually reshaped by the collapse between legitimized and illegitimate forms of celebration and theft.
Charlotte Zhang (b. 1999) is an artist and filmmaker. Zhang got her start as an artist through the Nanaimo Art Gallery, and has produced works in a variety of mediums, including sculpture, zines, laser-printed collages, and multi-channel video installations.
