Greg Pak: Happy Fun Room
A short film written and directed by Greg Pak. 14 minutes, 2014. Starring Cindy Cheung, Sebastian Martinez, Lilyana Cornell, Raquel Almazan, Tarah Flanagan, and Mandi Madsen.

But the world has changed and the show’s messages may no longer apply. Can Sam prevent her past fears from making her a monster in the present?
