“Inspired by 1960s Italian shockumentaries, a teenage rock musical, and the real-life horrors of girls entering adulthood…it’s not a feminist anthem, but an unlocked vault to the carnal, the psychological, the explicit, and the revolting aspects of the feminine experience. Cuddly Toys takes viewers to the dark depths of girlhood with the extreme stories of teenage angst, rape, and gore.” -Leticia Lopez, Fangoria

Directed by Kansas Bowling, the youngest female filmmaker in American history (BC Butcher, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), CUDDLY TOYS is a quasi-mockumentary that documents some of the horrors and some of the joys of growing up as a young girl in America. It features 100 actresses and is shot entirely on super 16mm film.

A virtual Q&A with filmmaker Kansas Bowling will follow the screening!
