The Plastic Bag Store is a public art installation and immersive film experience created by artist and director Robin Frohardt designed to take place in a retail storefront. Employing humor, puppetry and craft, Frohardt focuses a critical lens upon our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

On the surface, MALATESTA’S CARNIVAL OF BLOOD gives off the appearance of a throwaway bargain-bin horror curio -- but once you dig below the surface, an ecosystem of abstract influences, thrift store props in the style of PEE-WEE’S PLAYHOUSE, and avant-garde techniques come into view.About The Witch Who Came from the Sea: This unnerving journey into madness and murder contains an unforgettable star turn by Millie Perkins that will sear itself onto your retinas.
