Botanica

Thursday, September 30

Two scientists perform experiments into the sentient life of plants even as their own sexual tension threatens to undermine their surprising results.  Meanwhile, the janitor keeps sneaking into the lab at night to read pornographic literature to their plant subjects.  A perverse futuristic exploration of hubris set in a human terrarium.

Co-writer: Jeff Jackson
Designers: Rob Besserer, Jim Dawson, Peter Ksander, Jeff Sugg
