· Day of the Comet · by Freiburger & Hachard               ☼ online event

As Halley’s Comet passes near Earth, pieces break off and enter the atmosphere as meteors. The story is composed of three separate misadventures of people who make wishes upon seeing these shooting stars, wishes that come true in the most unexpected and undesirable ways. Each event is weirder than the last and will make viewers wonder what the writers were eating/drinking/smoking when they came up with this screenplay (and where some can be obtained).
