Marty is a caustic, small-time con artist drifting from one scam to the next. When his latest ruse goes awry, mounting paranoia forces him from his lousy small town temp job to the desolate streets of Detroit with nothing more than a pocket full of bogus checks, a dangerously altered Nintendo® Power Glove, and a bad temper. Albert Camus meets Freddy Krueger in BUZZARD, a hellish and hilarious riff on the struggles of the American working class. Director / Producer / Writer and Derek, Joel Potrykus stops by to talk about the benefits of casting musicians and comedians in key roles, the creativity of low budget projects, Marty and the “party zone.”
