Bugs is the first feature-length film by Canadian artist duo Life of a Craphead. (aka Amy Lam and Jon McCurley).

“Bugs is a satire about a bug society and its most successful family. The Bug Prime Minister, Shay (Gerry Campbell), has ruled the Bug Garden for many years and is finally, reluctantly, retiring. He’s chosen his niece, Gaston (Liz Peterson), to take over -- but Gaston, who is plagued with ambitions to be the Bug Garden’s most respected politician-architect-filmmaker -- is folding under the pressure. Dan is his other niece, but she’s a dreamer and can’t be trusted; she’s full of conflicting ideals and tries to act on all of them."

Bugs is premiering in the U.S. at Night Gallery in June, with a subsequent U.S. tour to S1 in Portland, Spectacle in Brooklyn, The Crown (with Wham City) in Baltimore, and PhilaMOCA in Philadelphia.
