SF IndieFest: Buffalo Buffalo Turquoise Buffalo

Filmmakers expected for post-screening Q&A!

Ryan is missing. Ford (his struggling actor roommate) and Mae (the drifter he slept with last night) turn amateur detective to solve the caper but find themselves in a dangerous web of rogues who are searching for him as well.

What initially feels like a messy, comedic errand quickly mutates into something far stranger. The search for Ryan pulls Ford and Mae through a series of unexpected environments —abandoned interiors, theaters, deserts, forests, isolated spaces—each location feeling singular, deliberately chosen, and never overexposed. Along the way, the film introduces parallel threads and satirical interruptions that suggests that something larger is at play than a simple missing-person story. The search slowly shifts from where is he? to why did he do this?—and what kind of world did he intentionally step into? – Lucy Hahn, SF IndieFest
