Dark Sky Films has acquired the U.S. rights to Booger, Mary Dauterman’s debut feature starring Grace Glowicki.
The distribution deal comes as Visit Films introduces the body horror pic to international buyers in Berlin. Glowicki plays Anna, a New Yorker faced with the sudden and unexpected death of her best friend and roommate, Izzy, played by Sofia Dobrushin.
As Anna grieves, Izzy’s cat, Booger, runs away, leading to a desperate search, only to be bitten on the hand by the cat. Anna soon takes on feline characteristics and her work life and relationship with her boyfriend go downhill.
“It’s great to see filmmakers like Mary Dauterman pushing the boundaries of horror and delivering something truly memorable. We’re thrilled to be bringing this film to audiences worldwide,” Dark Sky Films’ Giles Edwards said in a statement.
The ensemble cast includes Garrick Bernard, Marcia DeBonis, David Rysdahl and indie icon Heather Matarazzo.

Anna (Grace Glowicki) is not okay. In writer/director Mary Dauterman’s feature directorial debut, the mid-twenties New Yorker is grieving the loss of her roommate and best friend, Izzy (Sofia Dobrushin). She’s dodging calls from her co-worker Devon for repeatedly missing work, eating questionable looking Thai take-out that Izzy left in the fridge, and refusing to acknowledge that her boyfriend Max (Garrick Bernard) might also be upset about Izzy’s death.
And then Booger, the stray cat that she and Izzy adopted, escapes out the window.
The cat is the straw that breaks the camel’s back for Anna, who unravels when the last symbol of her relationship with Izzy disappears. Her attempt to recover the pet becomes an all-encompassing quest, resulting in a downward spiral that includes surreal dream sequences, blackout drinking binges, and unusual cat-like behavior.
Because Booger is genre-adjacent, that unusual behavior manifests as body horror.

Unable to come to terms with her best friend and roommate Izzy’s death, Anna (Grace Glowicki) does everything possible to avoid that which she cannot fix by focusing her energy on something she can. Or, at least, something she thinks she can fix. Because there are no guarantees Anna will find Booger the cat once he leaves out the fire escape window. No guarantees he wants to come back.
He isn’t even her cat, after all. Izzy is the one who found him stowed away in their shared apartment. She’s the one who decided to adopt him as theirs. Losing him after having just lost her thus becomes a bridge too far for Anna, already forced to comprehend a future alone, without the one person on Earth she never thought she had to worry about truly leaving.
So whether it’s just a task to distract herself...

Writer/Director Mary Dauterman’s feature directorial debut, Booger, promises to take audiences on a grossly sweet journey. Ahead of its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively reveal first look images that teases an unpredictable ride ahead for the genre-bending metamorphosis thriller.
In the film: “After Booger, her dead friend’s cat runs away, Anna (Grace Glowicki) grows desperate to find him, ignoring the fact that her life (and body) are totally falling apart. A psychedelic, grotesque, and unexpectedly funny film about grief and the indescribable deepness of female friendships, Booger offers a shocking mix of genres with confidence and profound emotional impact.”
These exclusive images suggest a deeply transformative voyage ahead for Anna.
“Booger is a disgusting comedy about grief. Or a body horror that’s funny and sad. Or a tragedy that makes you laugh and squirm,” says writer/director Dauterman on her film.

Freeform's scripted roster just took a hit.
The cable network has canceled Single Drunk Female and The Watchful Eye, according to Deadline.
Even worse: all episodes of both series are being removed from Hulu today, meaning that they'll only be available to purchase via iTunes and Amazon.
Single Drunk Female Season 1 was a massive hit for Freeform and Hulu, where it garnered strong viewership on streaming, but the buzz seemingly faded by the time Single Drunk Female Season 2 debuted earlier this year.
The second season launched in April and picked up with Sam a year and a half into her sobriety journey and finally feeling "like she has a life worth celebrating," the logline states.
"However, Sam quickly learns that sometimes life has other plans for her."
"Sam must figure out how to effect change where she can, sit in her discomfort when she can't, and maybe even enjoy the ride.

Freeform is shedding a pair of scripted originals.
The Disney-owned cable network has canceled sophomore comedy Single Drunk Female and rookie drama The Watchful Eye.
The news comes four months after Disney’s Dana Walden shuffled her executive ranks and gave oversight of Freeform to Simran Sethi, the ABC development executive who previously headed up originals for the younger-skewing broadcast network with former Freeform president Tara Duncan now exclusively focused on the Onyx Collective studio.
Single Drunk Female starredSofia Black-d’Elia, Ally Sheedy, Rebecca Henderson, Sasha Compere, Lily Mae Harrington and Garrick Bernard and hailed from creator Simone Finch (The Connors) and exec producer Jenni Konner (Girls). The show was produced in-house by Disney’s 20th Television, where Konner is based with an overall deal.
The Watchful Eye, meanwhile, ran for one season on Freeform and starred Mariel Molino in the thriller about a young nanny who goes to work...

Samantha Fink has grown up and owned her choices. Single Drunk Female Season 2 finds Samantha Fink (Sofia Black-d'Elia) sober for a year and a half and prioritizing healthy relationships, even if that means angering her mom Carol (Ally Sheedy).
TV Fanatic chatted with Sofia about the dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship, her new sponsorship with Busy Phillips, and navigating a different relationship with James.

Hi Sofia. Single Drunk Female has been so enjoyable. In Season 1, we watched Sam be self-destructive as she struggled with sobriety, whereas in Season 2, she's evolved into this likable person dealing with real-life issues. What are your thoughts on Sam's journey?

[This story contains major spoilers for Single Drunk Female season 2.]
In the second season of Single Drunk Female, creator Simone Finch wanted to expand beyond Sam’s (Sofia Black-d’Elia) journey with physical sobriety and explore what comes next: emotional sobriety. “We wanted to talk more about what happens when you’re sober and you think that you have everything figured out,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter.
The result is something equally as messy for Sam as season one, just in some compelling (and cringey) new ways. And as audiences see, her friends and family are not immune to season two’s mess. As a result, the return of Freeform’s breakout hit — which debuted on April 12 and is airing weekly on the cabler (though the entirety of the season is already available on Hulu) — watches more in its second go like an ensemble show, where more screen time translates to more complication but also more depth.

Sam Fink has grown up. In Single Drunk Female Season 1, she struggled with staying sober and making amends. In Season 2, she's learning it's even harder to remain sober while navigating a new job, a new boyfriend, and moving out on her own.
In many ways, Sam wanted to be normal, but half the time, she knew she was not. She wanted to date someone who didn't have an addiction, but she knew she would still have to attend meetings, something her mom Carol still doesn't understand.
Even though Sam is more in charge of her recovery, she's still an alcoholic, and that's something that mother and daughter finally have to face. It's rough but a beautiful and emotional arc for both.

“I had an instinct for how to play this character, but I also knew that it would be really challenging,” shares Sofia Black-d’Elia about the role of Sam in Freeform’s “Single Drunk Female,” a comedy about a millennial’s journey with sobriety. Based in part on series creator Simone Finch’s own life, the show features a “really truthful, honest telling of a gal getting sober,” and the actress felt “the dialogue was very grounded.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
The first season of the series chronicles Sam’s first year of sobriety, so the time gaps between episodes are usually quite large. Black-d’Elia relished the “challenges” of having to step into the character’s shoes at these vastly different moments in time because, “There are huge changes happening every day, physically, mentally, emotionally.” In moving through 12 months so briskly, the series also shows how Sam’s...

[Editor’s Note: The following interview contains spoilers for the “Single Drunk Female” Season 1 finale, including the ending.]
Over the course of the first season of “Single Drunk Female,” success comes in wildly different forms. Whether it’s the incremental steps that multiple characters take toward maintaining sobriety or learning how to say sorry, it’s sometimes hard for Sam (Sofia Black-d’Elia) to gauge how much she should actually celebrate.
After some early stumbles and a string of stressful moments that could have kept her from getting to that point, Sam finishes Season 1 with over a year of sobriety. That wasn’t necessarily part of series creator Simone Finch’s original plan. But in working with fellow executive producer Jenni Konner, Finch found a season-ending symmetry in the journeys of Sam and sobriety pal-turned-romantic interest James (Garrick Bernard).
“I wanted Sam to relapse, originally. But she was so right about that. That’s boring. What we did is way more interesting,...

Rising star Garrick Bernard portrays James Chambers on Freeform's Single Drunk Female. James has been sober for two years and is attracted to the show's protagonist, Sam Fink (Sofia Black-d'Elia), but doesn't want to date her until she's one year sober. The two share fantastic chemistry and a natural connection.
Last night in Single Drunk Female's Episode 8, titled" James," James's family learned he struggled with alcoholism, though no one wanted to admit it. James was in total denial until Sam stopped him from making a terrible mistake and urged him to get help.
TV Fanatic chatted with Bernard about James being a functional alcoholic, his relationships with his brother and Sam, and what he loves about the series.

We’ve heard about how Sam (Sofia Black-d’Elia) met James (Garrick Bernard) initially, before they were part of the same AA group on Single Drunk Female. It’s time to see what exactly happened then in the March 3 episode. The aptly-titled “James” is a flashback episode to the time before he was sober, as he was approaching rock bottom and, while inebriated, met a just-as-drunk “Katrina,” as Sam called herself, on Thanksgiving. When the two are kicked out of the bar, they head out for their own one-night holiday celebration, leading to James making a change. Freeform/Danny Delgado Bernard previews the James-centric episode below. Plus, watch an exclusive sneak peek of James and Sam meeting above. Talk about the James we’re going to see in this flashback episode. Where is he in his life? Garrick Bernard: He is approaching his lowest, for sure. He’s definitely living on a high.

Dating is hard. Dating while sober is overwhelming.
Single Drunk Female Season 1 Episode 5 showed viewers the realistic challenges alcoholics face while finding someone new, especially in the early parts of sobriety.
Sam's plight of wanting to have sex and stay sober was real, yet some of her one-liners were hilarious.
Before we dive into Sam and her dating issues, let's discuss Carol's mind games with Brit. What possible reason could she have for messing with Brit?
Carol has a strained relationship with her daughter, which worsened when she agreed to go to Brit's wedding. Is Carol hoping to repair things with Sam by breaking up Brit and Joel? It seemed like a weird sort of peace offering from a mom.
We don't know enough information about the beginning of Brit's and Joel's relationship. Did they bond while caring for a grieving and drunk Sam? Stranger things have happened.

Freeform’s comedy series Single Drunk Female got off a promising ratings start. The January 20 launch has amassed over 2.4 million multiplatform viewers in Live+7, according to Nielsen and Freeform, marking the network’s biggest comedy premiere since the Jan. 3, 2018 debut of grown-ish more than four years ago.
The opening episode also was the most-watched Freeform comedy series premiere on Hulu, and the second-best performance overall for a Freeform series premiere on the platform, behind only Cruel Summer, which averaged 3.81 million multi-platform viewers in its first week.
There is a caveat. Freeform has only launched one comedy series since grown-ish, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, plus the pandemic-themed 2020 entry Love in the Time of Corona. Still, Single Drunk Female‘s performance is respectable for a comedy on basic cable which traditionally are hard to launch. It complements the show’s critical success with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Freeform's new dramedy Single Drunk Female focuses on getting through the day and starting over.
The series was a pleasant surprise. It's not an overly serious approach to alcoholism and recovery, though the dramatic covers emotional aspects of Sam's relationships. It's also not slapstick funny with her getting drunk on the floor all the time.
Single Drunk Female walked a delicate balance of emotional depth and snarkiness. Sofia Black-d'Elia shined to portray a young woman trying to rebuild her life after hitting rock bottom.
In Single Drunk Female Season 1 Episode 1, Sam thought she was a high-functioning drunk. She showed up to work with vodka in her water bottle, insisting she could do her job.
When her boss confronted her and ultimately fired her, she became belligerent. She drunkenly assaults him with her phone. Soon, she found herself in trouble with the law and court-ordered sobriety.
As her probation officer repeatedly inferred,...

Freeform’s new series “Single Drunk Female” does something impressive: Without leaning too hard on mordancy or gallows humor, it finds the funny in recovery.
Notionally, the process of getting sober is one of the more punishing things a person can do, requiring self-reflection and consideration of the ways one’s behavior has harmed others. There’s raw material in this for drama, perhaps, but comedy of anything but the most mordant kind seems something less than intuitive. Which makes the brightly upbeat but clear-eyed “Single Drunk Female” a welcome addition to the TV landscape.
Created by Simone Finch and executive produced by Jenni Konner, “Single Drunk Female” begins mid-rampage: Sofia Black-d’Elia’s Samantha is, for what we grasp is closer to the thousandth time than the first, on a bender and determined to take down anyone in her sights. Having successfully torched her own writing career, Samantha returns to...

For Simone Finch, the creator and executive producer behind Freeform’s upcoming Single Drunk Female, the comedy starring Sofia Black-d’Elia and Ally Sheedy comes from a deeply personal place.
During the show’s TCA panel on Wednesday Finch shared that Single Drunk Female first originated nearly a decade ago as she struggled with addiction after her father’s death.
“I started writing this in 2012 before I got sober and I got sober and I realized it was about a girl getting sober,” said Finch, who is now seven years and eight months sober, adding “I called it a living script as it sort of evolved as I got more sober.”
Set to premiere Jan. 20, Single Drunk Female see’s Black-d’Elia’s 20-something alcoholic Samantha Fink seize the only chance she has to sober up and avoid jail time: moving back home with her overbearing mother, Carol (Sheedy). Back in Greater Boston,...
