There's a young woman menstruating crude oil. She lives in a swamp. She's in love with Courtney, but her mother prefers RJ. No one knows who knows what's best. Pussy Sludge is a tender exploration of questioning authority, suspending shame through intimacy, and very bad advice.
*Pussy Sludge was awarded the 2017 Relentless Award in memory of Philip Seymour Hoffman
